David Price is one of the best pitchers in MLB today. We now look into his dominance.
David Price was both a superstar and fan favorite back in the day with the Tampa Bay Rays. Throughout the 2014 season, there had been rumors that the Rays would trade their top pitcher away. David Price was getting tired of all this talk. He even said, ‘’If you want to trade me, trade me.’’ So at the trade deadline in 2014, David Price went to the Detroit Tigers. David Price had an amazing season with both the Rays and Tigers. At the end of the regular season, Price had a league leading 271 strikeouts. This amazing pitcher had a great breakout season back in 2010. In that year, David went 19-6 with 188 strikeouts in 208.2 innings. David would continue to be spectacular ever since that great season.
A lot of fans were disappointed when they heard the news of their star. David Price was used to playing alongside Evan Longoria and Desmond Jennings. When he went to Detroit, he had to say goodbye to them and welcome Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez onto his team. David Price is also famous in New York. Although he never played on a New York team, he has given up great milestones to Derek Jeter. He gave up his 3,000 hit which was a homer and the double that would put Jeter on top of Lou Gehrig for the franchise all time doubles leader. It was always on David Price. David Price would also help lead the Detroit Tigers to the 2014 postseason. As you can see, David Price is one of the best starting pitchers in the game today. He helps make the Tigers win a lot of games
