Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Friday, June 29, 2012
Earlier this month, Sean Doolittle made his major-league debut for the Oakland Athletics. It wasn’t an obviously momentous event: The left-hander took the mound with two outs in the top of the fifth, with the A’s trailing Texas 5-0. He struck out Nelson Cruz to end the inning, then pitched a perfect sixth, striking out two more Rangers, before yielding to Grant Balfour.What made Doolittle’s low-profile bit of middle-relief work notable is that less than a year ago, he wasn’t a pitcher at all. He was an injury-plagued first baseman for the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats.
