A's prospect Richie Martin dreams of facing Garrett Richards


Recommended Posts

Richie Martin had the dream of all aspiring baseball players, one pitcher he’d like to face over all others. If he had his choice he’d face Garrett Richards.

 

Martin grew up in North Carolina as a Tigers fan in general, but had a healthy dose of respect for the game of Angels’ starter Richards. A shortstop by trade and the A’s first-round draft pick last June, Martin almost got his wish in his first Cactus League game Thursday.

 

Richards was on the mound Thursday as the Angels hosted Oakland in the A’s first Cactus League game of the spring. Martin was on the bench, part of the traveling squad, so he knew there was no chance he would actually face Richards, who was down to throw a couple of innings.

 

But it was cool for the 21-year-old right-handed hitter nonetheless.

 

“If there was one guy I dreamed of facing, it was Garrett Richards,’’ Martin said. “But just to be in my first big league camp and to have him pitching in the first game, that’s pretty big for me.’’
