Welcome to the Shaun Anderson era. The Giants' top pitching prospect is making his MLB debut on Wednesday at Oracle Park against the Blue Jays.
And he'll be throwing to a familiar face.
Anderson's battery mate will be catcher Aramis Garcia. The two have worked together the past two season in Triple-A Sacramento together, and the familiarity should help ease the rookie right-hander into the big leagues.
Over seven starts this season for Sacramento, Anderson was 2-1 with a 4.11 ERA in the extremely hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. He also had 37 strikeouts in 35 innings pitched.
