Dave Roberts, manager of the current champions Los Angeles Dodgers, Unveiled on behalf of the pitcher who will open the first game of his preseason against the Oakland Athletics this Sunday, February 28th.
The leader will give you the opportunity to an off-roster guest pitcher and that last year he returned to MLB with the Red Sox after a six-year absence from the best baseball in the world. This is the left-handed 32-year veteran Mike Kickham.

Like all other guest players, the 1.93-meter-long pitcher will try to dazzle Roberts with the goal of taking a place on the powerful roster of the Angels.
Like most of the rest of Boston’s pitching corps, Kickham also had a terrible last tournament. He finished with a very high effectiveness of 7.71 after 14 home runs in six games, two of them as an opener.
However, the Dodgers have given him a new chance and he knows he has to take advantage of it, especially because of the great competition in the pitching department, probably the best of the whole Big Tent.
