Blake Treinen praised God during an on-field interview following his team’s eighth World Series championship victory.

When reporter Robert Flores asked Treinen how he felt after the 7-6 game-five win, the pitcher responded, “Joy… overwhelming joy. God is absolutely good.”

Treinen went on to say, “I gotta give a shout out to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for this moment, man. It’s a lot of hard work, what I’ve gone through… This moment is such a blessing.” When asked who came to mind first after the final out, Treinen replied, “God, honestly. Everything I’ve been through, it’s just so good to be here and have this platform.”

At 36, Treinen has been open about the ups and downs of his baseball career, from cuts and trades to injuries. He’s also been vocal about his faith, standing up for Christian values, especially when the Dodgers invited “queer and trans nuns” to the team’s LGBTQ+ Pride Night last year.

Trust has been a cornerstone of Treinen’s career. He faced medical challenges as a teenager, struggled to secure a spot on a college team, and had his contract voided by the Florida Marlins in 2010. Amidst that disappointment, Treinen reached out to a chaplain he had briefly known from a summer team and received a life-changing Bible verse, Proverbs 3:5-6.

A few hours later, as Blake Treinen shared that passage with his parents at 2 a.m. in rural Kansas, a car drove by with the personalized license plate PROV356. “I decided to lean on God and not my own understanding,” Treinen said.

Treinen, who aims to be “an ambassador for Christ,” has the support of fellow Christians on the team. Dodgers pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Michael Kopech, along with first baseman Freddie Freeman, are also outspoken about their faith.
