The pitching depth continues to grow for the Texas Rangers this off-season as they add relief pitcher Anthony Bass. A one-year deal for Bass, but an opportunity for him to prove himself at the MLB level once again.
In 2016 Bass pitched with the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan. Before that Bass pitched with the Rangers in 2015. He went 0-0 4.50 ERA in 33 games with Texas that season. Bass was once a highly regarded prospect of the San Diego Padres organization.
Drafted in the 5th round of the 2008 amateur draft by the Padres.
