Marlins’ Chris Hatcher Reaches Majors, This Time As A Pitcher

By jeff

Chris Hatcher has reached the majors again, reports Juan Rodriguez of the Sun Sentinel. The difference this time is that he made it as a pitcher. The former catcher was converted to a pitcher last season which has proved to be a very smart move. In 30 appearances at AA this season he is 2-1 with a 2.31 ERA overall. Those excellent numbers have earned him the call up to the Marlins Major League Club.

Last season as a catcher with the Marlins, he went hitless in his only 6 at bats. In the minors last year for AA and AAA combined he hit only .197/.274/.283 with 2 home runs in 101 games.
