Famed Pitcher Brian Matusz dies at 37
An eight-year MLB veteran who adopted David “Big Papi” Ortiz’s iconic number has died at 37, the MLB reported on Tuesday. A cause of death has not been announced.
Brian Matusz joined the Baltimore Orioles in 2008, the No. 4 overall pick in that year’s draft, and spent his entire eight-year MLB career playing with the team. He pitched in 279 games with 68 starts from 2009 until 2016. Matusz made just one major appearance playing for another team during his tenure—a three-inning start during the Chicago Cubs’ championship season in July of 2016.
