“It’s just baseball, man, you never know where you’re going to end up. It’s incredible how it has come around, and just to get the chance here, I’m excited about it.”
MESA, Ariz. — Drew Rucinski’s feel-good journey, on the verge of reaching its high point following his return to Major League Baseball with the Oakland A’s after four years in Korea, could be delayed to start the season.
This is a 2023 photo of relief pitcher Drew Rucinski of the Oakland Athletics baseball team. This image reflects the Oakland Athletics active roster as of Thursday, Feb. 23, 2023, when this image was taken in Mesa, Ariz. “It’s pretty wild, man,” Rucinski said. “You go over there and you always hope to come back here, that’s the goal. I think if you don’t have that goal you’re in the wrong mindset. So just to have it work out and be here now, in this locker room, it’s incredible. I’m trying to make the most of every opportunity I’m given.”
“We’re excited to have him,” Kotsay said earlier this month. “Everything we’ve heard, he’s a competitor, he had a point in his career where he transitioned to go to Korea, go overseas and make some money, which you can’t blame someone for that opportunity. He pitched well over there, the numbers kind of represent that.
But Rucinski’s long road back to the majors is still validating, even if his second go at the majors hasn’t gotten off to the best start. He’s thankful for the opportunity he has and the wild ride that led him to it.
