AboutTom Schott Expertise I will deal with the major leagues only from 19th century to present. I`m good on baseball history, records, statistics, ballparks. Try to stick to on-the-field stuff. I`m not interested in personal off-the-field stuff like spouses, girl friends, drug habits, salaries, mascots, etc. If you already know the answer to the question, please don't ask it. I don't want to play "stump the expert."
Experience I've written on the subject, and I have substantial library of resources.
Publications Numerous encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine articles. One book, several book chapters.
I'm looking for the last pitcher to win a game without throwing a pitch.
I think it's Al Osuna on September 28th, 1990 (Houston against Atlanta).
Do you have an idea if it right?
Thank you!
Answer Hey Marco,
Last guy to do it was a few years ago. B.J. Ryan got a win on May 1, 2003 by coming in a game with a runner on base and two outs and before he threw a pitch, picked the runner off first. His team took the lead in the next inning and he was replaced. He ended up being the winning pitcher without throwing a pitch.
