The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Because baseball practices permanent substitution, these pitchers frequently pitch to a very small number of batters in any given game, and rarely pitch to strictly right-handed batters.
- Most Major League Baseball teams have several left-handed pitchers on their rosters, at least one of whom is a left-handed specialist.
- Prior to 2020, when the MLB rules were amended to require all pitchers to complete an inning or face at least three hitters, some left-handed specialists commonly faced only one batter before leaving the game.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Left-handed specialist article was read about 10,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
