2009 Chachi #38 Antonio Bastardo

Antonio Bastardo takes to the hill tonight against the Padres in his Major League debut. He temporarily (?) fills the rotation spot of Brett Myers, following Brett's right hip injury. In 11 games between AAA Lehigh Valley and AA Reading this year, Antonio went 3 and 2, with a 1.90 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 47.1 innings.

Phillies debut: June 2, 2009
How acquired: Signed as an amateur free agent, February 17, 2005
Pictured: Spring Training action, to be replaced with a better game day picture once available

  1. Nice strikeout rates, wow. His bb/9 are really nice this year too. Did he come out of nowhere?

    Nice card, and nice debut!

  2. He did have a nice debut, although he ran deep counts to most of the Padres. He pitched in A and AA last year, promoted to AAA last month, and here he is in the Bigs . . . This could get exciting!

  3. Gotta love a pitching line where A. Basdardo gets the win. I'm so immature.
