The youngest player in the AL this season is Toronto’s setup reliever Roberto Osuna, born in Mexico on Feb 7, 1995. While the 20 year-old is young in years, this is his 5th season as a professional (though he has been used quite sparingly in the minors with just 128.2 IP in four minor league campaigns). Why am I writing about a rookie relief pitcher not even halfway into the season? Well, there’s this:
Year | Age | Tm | W | L | G | GS | GF | SV | IP | HR | BB | SO | ||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2015 | 20 | TOR | 1 | 2 | .333 | 2.12 | 31 | 0 | 8 | 1 | 34.0 | 1 | 10 | 40 | 185 | 2.11 | 0.912 | 5.6 | 0.3 | 2.6 | 10.6 | 4.00 |
Those numbers will attract attention on any pitcher’s resume, never mind for a 20 year-old rookie. More on Osuna after the jump.
