2.  Before earning his MD and establishing his
own practice in the Florida Keys east of Key
West, Dr. Angelo Consiglio attended
Benedictine University as an undergraduate.
While there, Dr. Angelo Consiglio performed
as a relief pitcher on the college’s baseball
team.

3.  The main component differentiating a relief pitcher
from a starting pitcher is that a reliever enters into a
mid-game situation. While starting pitchers throw
their first in-game pitch during the first inning with
an empty count and no base runners, a relief pitcher
must be able to come into a game in, for
example, the seventh inning with a full count and the
bases loaded. Sometimes, a relief pitcher is brought
into a game for the express purpose of pitching to a
single batter; other times, a relief pitcher may be
required to pitch for several innings. A specific type
of reliever is a closer, a pitcher who enters late in a
game to get the last few batters of the opposing team
out.
