Former Wizards Pitcher, Jack Cassel Makes MLB Debut

August 10th, 2007 | Author: Chad Gramling

Former Wizards pitcher, Jack Cassel, was called up from Triple-A on Friday, August 10th to join the parent club Padres. He debuted after coming in for the starter, Wil Ledezma, in the third inning.

Plans call for Cassel to pitch in long relief for the Padres after putting together a resume that earned him a Triple-A All-Star spot for the Portland Beavers this season. He was 7-11 with a 3.54 ERA in 24 games (21 starts). Cassel, who turned 28 on Wednesday, leads the Pacific Coast League in complete games with 3, ranks fourth in ERA and third in strikeouts (108) and innings pitched (139.2).

Cassel was drafted in the 25th round of the 2000 draft and was released in 2006 before resigning with the Friars as a free agent. He appeared in Fort Wayne over three seasons (2000-2002), plyaing in 74 games and logging over 200 total innings pitched while compiling 148 strikeouts.
