Major League Debuts as Minnesota Twins – Jeff Manship

I didn’t get yesterday debut out here so we will do it today since there are no big league debuts as Twins on August 16.

Jeff Manship

Jeff Manship (P) – August 15, 2009 – Drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 14th round of the 2006 MLB June Amateur Draft. Threw a clean inning of relief in his debut against the Cleveland Indians at the Dome and struck out one albeit in a losing cause..

  1. I was there for that one.
    The batter he struck our was the first he faced. Great way to start a career.
    He apparently retired or could not find a job after the 2016 season, but he posted a 0.00 ERA in his post-season career of 2.1 innings.
    Good for him!

    1. I think Manship and Eric Hacker (another ex-Twin) are pitching in the Korean Baseball League for the NC Dinos. Hacker has a 10-5 record and Manship is 9-1.
