High school and college [ edit ]
Witasick attended C. Milton Wright High School (Bel Air, Maryland ) and Brevard Community College (Melbourne, Florida )
and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County .[1] [2] [3] He also played in the Maryland Semi-Professional Baseball League All-Star Game in 1991.[4]
Professional career [ edit ]
Witasick was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2nd round of the 1993 Major League Baseball Draft .[5] He made his MLB debut on July 7, 1996 as a member of the Oakland Athletics against the California Angels . In 1997 and 1998, he spent time with the Athletics in spring training.[6] [7] [8] In his first three seasons with Oakland, he made a combined 27 appearances.
In 1999, Witasick was traded to the Kansas City Royals for a player to be named, Scott Chiasson , and was mainly used as a starter.[9] [10] In 32 appearances, 28 starts, Witasick was 9–12 with a 5.57 ERA in 158+ 1 ⁄3 innings. He struck out 102 and walked 83 batters. He began the following season with the Royals before being traded to the San Diego Padres for Brian Meadows .[11] [12] [13] Overall between the two teams, Witasick was 6–10 with a 5.82 ERA in 150 innings. In 2001, he was converted into a reliever full time, and was traded midseason by the Padres to the New York Yankees for D'Angelo Jiménez .[14] In a career high 63 appearances between both teams, he was 8–2 with 106 strikeouts in 79 innings. During the 2001 World Series , he appeared in one game, Game 6, in which he tied Grover Cleveland Alexander for the most earned runs allowed in a game in the Fall Classic—8 ER, in just 1 + 1 ⁄3 innings.[15] In December 2001, he was traded to the San Francisco Giants for John Vander Wal .[16] [17] In 44 appearances for the Giants, he was 0–1 with a 2.37 ERA. In 68 + 1 ⁄3 innings, he struck out 54. In December 2002, he signed a two-year deal to return to the San Diego Padres.[18] [19]
He missed most of the 2003 season with a strained tendon in his elbow,[20] [21] [22] appearing in only 46 games. He was 3–7 with a 4.53 ERA. In his second season, he rebounded with a 3.21 ERA in 44 games. He was a free agent after the season and signed a one-year deal with the Colorado Rockies .[23] In 32 games with the Rockies, he was 0–4 with a 2.52 ERA before being traded to the Oakland A's in a deal that sent Eric Byrnes to the Rockies.[24] After the deal, he was 1–1 in 27 + 2 ⁄3 innings. After the 2005 season ended, Witasick signed a two-year contract to remain with the Athletics.[25] [26]
He spent the majority of the 2006 season on the disabled list with a left ankle injury.[27] [28] On June 2, 2007, Witasick was designated for assignment by the A's and released on June 7.[29] [30] [31] On June 12, he was signed to a one-year deal by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays .[32] [33] On October 25, 2007, the Devil Rays released him,[34] [35] [36] ending his professional playing career.
