Chad Huffman’s MLB Debut

June 14th, 2010 | Author: Chad Gramling

Chad Huffman became the 90th former Fort Wayne WizCap to debut in Major League Baseball. Taking the roster spot of the injured Marcus Thames, Huffman got his first hit in the third inning.

“I looked up on the jumbotron and saw my family jumping up and down,” Huffman said. “It was a great feeling… I’m going to give (the ball) to my mom so I don’t lose it.”

Huffman was a 2nd round selection of the San Diego Padres (53rd overall) in the 2006 amateur entry draft. With the Wizards in 2006, Huffman appeared in five games as the seasoned waned at Memorial Stadium. He started the following season at Lake Elsinore.

Huffman is the thirteenth player from the 2006 roster to make the Major Leagues. That is easily the most of any year, whether Wizards or TinCaps.
