SF Giants’ 24-year-old right-hander has gone 4 starts at AAA without allowing an earned run and has a 1.01 ERA.
San Francisco Giants pitcher Mason Black throws a ball during throwing practice of day four of the Spring Training at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024. PHILADELPHIA — Like many of us, Mason Black remembers the first ballgame he attended. He wasn’t yet 10 years old when his family made the 2-hour trek from their northeastern Pennsylvania home to Citizens Bank Park. They sat in right field, part of Pat Burrell’s cheering section.
When he stepped foot in his childhood ballpark Sunday, it had been exactly three weeks since he last allowed an earned run. “It seems like times in baseball, things play out in a way baseball does. To be able to come here and get his first start, it’s not the easiest opponent in the world, but I think he’s just kind of insulated in ‘I’m a big leaguer now,’ go out there and do his thing, stay with his strengths. He’s been pitching pretty well. Tomorrow will be a very, very special day for him.”
Black was on his way to medical school when the Giants made him the highest drafted player ever out of Lehigh University, selecting him 85th overall in 2021. The righty approaches hitters with a five-pitch mix, though his four-seamer — which sits in the low-90s — and sweeper have been his best offerings against Triple-A hitters.
By the time reporters departed the clubhouse, Murphy had traded in the athletic tape for a black brace that extended from the middle of his shin up to his thigh, immobilizing the left knee he sprained while blocking a pitch in the dirt Saturday night. Bailey is eligible to be activated Friday, but he must first pass a series of tests in MLB’s concussion protocol.
