9. David Ross…The Pitcher?
There are very few things that make me happier then when I get to see a position player enter a big league game and attempt to pitch. It makes me happy because regular dudes can’t throw a 98 mph fastball like Major League pitchers do but most regular dudes can get up and throw a 70 mph heater the exact same way a position player does when they try to pitch.
Ross was called on twice in the 2015 season to take the mound and he surprisingly pitched pretty well.
Six batters faced…..six outs.
Here’s his May 9th outing versus the Brewers.
And his July 26th outing versus the Phillies.
I’d also be an asshole if I didn’t mention that after he retired the Phillies 1-2-3, Ross hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth.
Total boss move.
