Other than becoming the 556th position player in history to pitch in a major league game, according to Baseball Reference, not much about infielder Mike Freeman’s one inning of work was noteworthy.
He admitted he just wanted to get the ninth inning over with quickly in the Mariners’ 16-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night.
Freeman gave up one run on three hits. Of his 22 pitches, 14 were for strikes.
“If I maybe struck somebody out, that would have been satisfying or memorable,” Freeman said.
Freeman became the seventh nonpitcher to pitch for Seattle.
