Jaycob Brugman was the 521st pick in the MLB Draft when he left BYU baseball in 2013. Players like that aren’t supposed to have careers in Major League Baseball.
Brugman will be trying to change that.
After making his MLB debut on June 9, Brugman slugged his first career home run on June 24. Entering the All-Star Break, he was hitting .239 with two homers and eight runs batted in.
He’s not setting the world on fire, but neither are the Oakland A’s.
The A’s are currently 39-50, 21 games back of the Houston Astros in the American League West standings.
