Matt Buschmann had one of the generation’s best minor league baseball careers.
His professional baseball career started in 2006 when the San Diego Padres drafted him in the 15th round of the 2006 amateur draft. He was then signed by scout Ash Lawson and the year became the turning point of his professional life.
Buschmann started his professional career with an impressive 3.19 ERA in 17 games. He made 12 starts, going a combined 4-4. His 2007 season was remembered as he recorded 12-6 with a 2.89 ERA in 28 games, starting 25 games.
As a result, he was named California League Post-Season All-Star and earned two Pitcher of the Week awards in 2007. Photo.
In 2008, he joined San Antonio Missions and recorded an equally impressive season. He ended the season with 10-6 with a 2.98 ERA in his 27 starts for the Missions. This earned him a spot in Texas League’s All-Stars.
Buschmann’s record in 2010 and 2011 dropped miraculously due to many things. However, his form rejuvenated when the Montgomery Biscuits selected him in 2012. He was excellent with the Durham Bulls in 2012 and 2013, with 3.98 ERA and 2.86 ERA, respectively.
Due to his consistent performances in the minor league, Arizona Diamondbacks allowed him to play in the major league. He made his MLB debut on April 10, 2016.
His last MLB appearance came on April 16, 2016, playing three games in Major League Baseball.
