The Oakland A’s debuted a new player over the weekend, with outfielder Jaycob Brugman becoming the latest member of the team’s youth movement. Brugman has been a consistent presence on our Community Prospect List for the last few seasons, and he got his MLB career off to a great start in Tampa Bay.
First, let’s begin with the numbers. The A’s played four games against the Rays in three days thanks to a doubleheader; Brugman spent three in LF and one in CF. His results:
- Game 1: 0-for-4, K
- Game 2: 2-for-4, BB
- Game 3: 2-for-3, BB, 2 RBI, sac fly
- Game 4: 2-for-5, 2 Ks
Brugman, 2017: 6-for-16 (.
