Evan Meek is heading to the All-Star Game to represent the Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates are 30-52 on the season as they are in last place in the N.L. Central, 16.5 games behind the Reds. But you can’t blame Evan Meek for the fact that the Pirates suck. The 27-year old righty reliever has pitched in 38 games (0 starts) for the Pirates so far this season and he is 4-2 with 1 save, a 0.96 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP. Meek has only given up 29 hits in 47 innings this season for the Pirates while whiffing 42 batters showing how dominating he has been. This will be Meek’s first All-Star appearance and he could be the Pirates’ closer by the end of the year if they decide to trade Octavio Dotel.
