Outfielder Jason Pridie remembers the first time he met right-handed reliever Ryan Dull in the clubhouse of the Nashville Sounds just over a month ago.
“I looked at him and thought he was the batboy,’’ Pridie said. Pridie and Dull were among eight players called up by the A’s Tuesday. Pridie was in the starting lineup and another callup, Cody Martin, was the starting pitcher. Dull was in the bullpen, waiting for a chance to throw.
Dull, the A’s 32nd-round pick in the 2012 draft, is in the big league despite look at least half a dozen years younger than his given age of 25.
