Brian Matusz es Away

Former big league pitcher Brian Matusz sadly ed away today at the very young age of 37.

The 4th overall pick of the 2008 draft by the Orioles, Brian made his MLB debut just one year later and spent eight seasons as both a starter and reliever, known best for his 12-6 curveball. Brian spent all of his career with Baltimore save for his last MLB game, which was for the Cubs on July 31, 2016. He posted a career 27-41 record with a 4.92 ERA/4.53 FIP, 462 strikeouts, and a 2.2 bWAR in 280 games (69 starts) as a big leaguer.

Rest in peace, Brian Matusz.
