It wasn’t a matter of if Sterling Sharp was going to make his Major League Baseball debut in 2020, it was only a matter of when.
On Wednesday night against the Baltimore Orioles, former Eastern Michigan University starting pitcher Sterling Sharp took the mound for the first time in a major league uniform for the Miami Marlins.
Because this is 2020 and everything about baseball is unconventional, Sharp technically pitched in a “home” game, despite the contest being played at Camden Yards in Baltimore as part of a seven-inning game doubleheader.
Sharp logged 1.2 shutout innings, allowing one hit and striking out one in his big league debut.
