Usually, if a manager is coming out to visit a pitcher in the middle of his outing, it’s to deliver some kind of bad news. Fortunately, for Carter Baumler on Monday night, Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker had something worth talking about.

He didn’t allow a run and struck out one batter. But Schumaker made his appearance on the mound even after Baumler didn’t meet the three-batter requirement before he would be allowed to be removed from the game. Schumaker gathered the infield around him and told him he had made the major league roster to start the season. Baumler was beaming as the huddle broke. 'Somebody said, ‘I wish I got a picture of you when you turned around and saw him,’' he said after the game, via MLB.com. 'Most of the time you see the manager come out, like, ‘OK, you’re out of the game.’ WORLD SERIES CHAMP RECALLS TERRIFYING NEAR-DROWNING INCIDENT IN MINNESOTA 'I turned around, I saw him, I was just caught off guard and didn’t know what was going to happen. And then he told me that and it was just a really cool moment. I’m definitely not going to forget that.' Baumler said he thought he was going to be taken out of the game. He had no idea Schumaker was going to tell him he made the team. The Pittsburgh Pirates initially picked Baumler in the Rule 5 Draft before the Rangers traded for him in the offseason. Because he was a Rule 5 selection, it meant the Rangers would have had to keep him on the roster for the entire season if they chose to put him on the opening day roster. Once the decision was finalized, Schumaker was able to deliver the good news. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP Baumler has yet to make his major league debut.
