As one of Nate's good friends, I just talked to him about an hour ago. He is currently in Bristol, Virginia with the White Sox advanced rookie league team, the Bristol White Sox. He said that he was going to be used from the bullpen to start his professional career. Their season starts tomorrow.

 

Good luck to Nate!!

 

 

Please keep us posted, as I'm sure Nate will be busy and not necessarily able to keep up on his IM's and emails!

Nate made his debut last night. 2/3 of an inning in relief, inherited two baserunners, one wild pitch allowed one run to score, a passed ball allowed the second one to score and he walked that batter. The next batter lined out to the first baseman for an unassisted double play. You can follow Nate's progress if you go to minorleaguebaseball.com and to the Appalachian League and the Bristol Sox. They have a log and box score for each of their games. Also TriCities.com is the local Bristol newspaper. Hope this helps everyone who is interested in following Nate's progress. I am sure he was quite nervous in his debut. Hang tough Nate, you will do fine.
