Synopsis

On Aug. 22, 2000, Rockies catcher Brent Mayne pitched a scoreless inning against the Atlanta Braves and became the first position player since Rocky Colavito 32 years earlier to record a win as a pitcher. That, on its own, is the answer to a trivia question. But in 16 Pitches it provides the springboard for a delightfully deep dive into the historical context and circumstances surrounding Mayne’s improbable performance. At a time when “baseball research” means an overcooked soup of arcane metrics and betting odds, author Denny Dressman dishes up a feast of storytelling, featuring interviews with Mayne, Buddy Bell, Adam Melhuse and numerous others.
