Oakland Athletics call up No. 13 prospect Joey Estes for debut against Seattle Mariners
OAKLAND — Applause form Joey Estes’ cheering squad boomed loud over the Coliseum’s tiny crowd of an announced 5,602 on Wednesday afternoon. The Oakland A’s season may be hard to watch, but bits of excitement can still puncture the quiet.
But Estes also showed flashes of why he’s the A’s No. 13-ranked prospect. He recorded his first two strikeouts and showed nearly his full pitching arsenal: A mid-90s fastball with a changeup and slider, he also threw in a few cutters, according to Statcast. Estes is the fifth A’s pitcher to start for his MLB debut this season.
Estes was taken out of the game two outs into the fifth inning after allowing a Eugenio Suarez ground-rule double and hitting his second batter, Ty France, with a pitch. Reliever Adrian Martinez couldn’t hold the runners, giving up a two-run double to Canzone to make it 6-1.Estes came to the A’s in the Matt Olson trade with the Atlanta Braves last season. He made his professional debut at age 17 in the Braves’ Gulf Coast League.
