Brandon Finnegan set for first career MLB start on Friday for the Cincinnati Reds

While there may only be a handful of handfuls of games left in the 2015 season, the all-rookie rotation rolled out daily by the Cincinnati Reds has somehow found a way to make itself even rookier. On Friday, Brandon Finnegan will take the mound as a starter for the first time in his big league career, and he'll be tasked with taking down what remains of the Milwaukee Brewers up at Miller Park.

Finnegan was taken 17th overall in the 2014 MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals as a college pitcher out of TCU, and he became the first player ever to pitch in both the College World Series and MLB World Series in the same season when the Royals brought him up to bolster their bullpen.
