Rookie Pitcher Shines in MLB Debut | MLB News

0:00On September 7th, 24-year-old pitcher, Cesar Pradomo, is making ways in his first week with the San Francisco Giants. He just threw six scoreless innings against the New York Metz, giving up only three hits and one walk while striking out four. Even though his team lost that game two to four, Pradomo's performance was a big deal. This follows up his debut on September 1st against the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he pitched four innings and only allowed one run. So, in his first ten innings, a major league baseball, he's only given up a single earned run. That's a seriously impressive start for any rookie. His manager, Tony Baitelo, was really impressed, saying Pradomo showed a lot of poise and savvy, looking like a veteran on the mound. Pradomo is currently rocking a 0.90 earned run average and a 0.80 walks, plus hits per inning pitched. Batters are hitting just 0.182 against him. What's really interesting is that Pradomo wasn't this dominant in AAA, he had a 4.43 earned run average there.

1:03His numbers were better in double A, but still not quite at this major league level. It looks like Pradomo has definitely earned himself more chances to show what he can do. He's proving that sometimes, the right opportunity at the right time can make all the difference. That's your update from MLB News Today, powered by AI.
