Way back on March 30th, San Diego Padres fans were introduced to the mesmerizing delivery of Joey Lucchesi and his now famous “churve.” He gave up three runs on seven hits in 4.2 innings against the Milwaukee Brewers. The excitement over Lucchesi took off and has proven worthwhile over the course of his rookie season. On Wednesday, another rookie will make his major league debut against the Brewers, Brett Kennedy.
Kennedy (just turned 24 on August 4th) received only one Division I offer out of high school, taking the offer and completing a successful career with the Fordham Rams.
