Athletics take SDSU pitcher Bubba Derby

+

Derby threw 103 innings for the Aztecs this season, averaging well over a strikeout per inning with 131 punchouts altogether, with an 8-4 record, a 3.32 ERA and a .250 opponents' batting average. He pitched especially well in the postseason, closing out New Mexico in the MWC tournament and leading San Diego State to their lone victory in the Lake Elsinore NCAA Regional against UC Santa Barbara. In the latter effort, Derby tossed a complete game with nine strikeouts and bested Texas Rangers first-round pick Dillon Tate.
