Dillon Overton has had a long journey back from his Tommy John surgery back in 2013.
After his operation four years ago, Overton fought valiantly to prove that he was worth being taken in the 2nd round of the 2013 draft by the Oakland Athletics.
Since he recovered from being under the knife, he has taken the mound for a bunch of the A’s minor league squads at the Advanced-A, Double-A, and Triple-A levels, all before he took to the mound in a major league uniform last year at the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum.
He did not fair well in his first test at the big league level.
