The Oakland Athletics had a trio of prospects in Saturday night’s fall stars game. Infielder Chad Pinder started at shortstop, going 1-for-4 with a strikeout and a double play in addition to his hit. He also made an error in the field, when he bobbled a routine ground ball. Third baseman Renato Nunez had fairly quiet night, going 1-for-2 with a strikeout.
The A’s position players hardly lived up to the numbers they’ve been posting all season, but in an exhibition game, that’s okay.
The player who did impress was pitcher Sean Manaea, who started the game for the AFL East Fall Stars team.
