Matusz, a Colorado native, became a star at the University of San Diego, winning the 2008 West Coast Conference Pitcher of the Year.<\/p>\n
That same year, the Orioles picked him with the fourth overall pick in the first round of the MLB draft.<\/p>\n
After a little less than a full season in the minors, Matusz made his big league debut on Aug. 4, 2009, throwing five innings in a win against the Tigers.<\/p>\n
He threw a career-high 32 starts in 2010, finishing fifth in the American League Rookie of the Year voting.<\/p>\n
He shifted to the bullpen late in the 2012 season, eventually becoming a mainstay in the Orioles relief corps. <\/p>\n
In each season from 2013-15, he appeared in at least 58 games with an ERA of 3.53 or lower.<\/p>\n
Matusz made one final big league appearance with the World Series-winning Cubs in 2016 before pitching with the Triple-A Reno Aces (Diamondbacks) the following season. <\/p>\n
