Six-Year Veteran Pitcher Throws For Interested MLB Teams

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, free agent pitcher Kyle Crick threw for interested teams last Friday.

Crick elected free agency earlier this offseason after being removed from the Chicago White Sox's 40-man roster.

The thirty-year-old made just 14 relief appearances last season for the White Sox before his season was cut short due to right elbow inflammation. He finished his season with a 4.02 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 19 strikeouts over 15.2 innings of work.

Crick should be ready to compete for a spot on a big-league roster this spring.

For his career, he holds a solid 3.56 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 201 strikeouts across 187.1 innings and 194 relief appearances. He's spent time with the San Francisco Giants, four seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates and one with the White Sox.

Crick is a former first-round pick by the Giants in the 2011 MLB Draft.
