Brett Anderson Biography

Brett Anderson is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on February 1, 1988 in Midland, Midland, United States. Brett Franklin Anderson (born February 1, 1988) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played for the Oakland Athletics, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, and Toronto Blue Jays.

Anderson made his professional debut on April 5, 2007, as the starting pitcher for the South Bend Silver Hawks of the Midwest League, in a game against the Great Lakes Loons, whose starting pitcher was former and future teammate Clayton Kershaw. He was 8–4 with a 2.21 ERA in 14 starts for the Silver Hawks and was selected to the Midwest League mid-season All-Star team. On June 21, 2007, Anderson was promoted by the Diamondbacks organization to the Visalia Oaks in the Advanced-Class A California League. On August 8, Anderson and several other Visalia players were involved in a car accident while en route to an amusement park, forcing the postponement of that nights game. Anderson sustained only a mild concussion but one of his teammates fractured his skull. He pitched in nine games for the Oaks with a 3–3 record and 4.85 ERA while missing some time due to some elbow tenderness.

In 2008, Anderson was a combined 11–5 with a 3.69 ERA and 118 strikeouts in 20 games (19 starts) between the Stockton Ports in the California League and the Double-A Midland RockHounds of the Texas League. In his debut for Midland, he struck out 12 batters and gave up two runs in six innings for the win. He was selected to pitch in the All-Star Futures Game played at Yankee Stadium during the All-Star break and was named to the U.S. Olympic Team in Beijing. He pitched seven innings to collect the win in the bronze medal game against Japan.

Anderson throws four pitches for strikes: a fastball, a curve, a changeup and a slider. His fastball sits in the 89-92 mph range and he offers a two-seam variety in addition to the traditional four-seam version. His best pitch is the slider, a two-plane breaking ball he can paint on the corner versus right- handed batters and sweep away from lefties in the 79-81 mph range. His low-to- mid 70s curveball is a weapon in any count and his 82-84 mph changeup has shown the most improvement as Anderson has fought his way through injuries. Over the course of his career, Anderson’s arm slot has lowered slightly, dropping from high three-quarters to true three-quarters. He’s athletic and repeats his mechanics, aiding in his ability to command his entire arsenal. Anderson is considered an “extreme ground ball pitcher” with a ground ball rate of 58.2% — second highest of all starting pitchers, since his career began in 2009.

On December 14, 2007, he was traded by Diamondbacks with Dana Eveland, Greg Smith, Aaron Cunningham, Carlos González and Chris Carter to the Oakland Athletics for Dan Haren and Connor Robertson.
