Devon Lowery's Baseball Journey
Devon Lowery started his professional baseball journey when the Kansas City Royals picked him. This happened in the 2001 Major League Baseball draft. He spent seven years playing in the minor leagues. These are teams where players develop their skills before joining the main league.
Making His Major League Debut
Lowery was called up to the major leagues for the first time on September 1, 2008. This was a big moment for him! He made his very first major league game appearance on September 6, 2008. This game was against the Cleveland Indians.
In that game, Lowery pitched a "scoreless inning." This means the other team did not score any runs while he was pitching. He also managed to get two strikeouts. A strikeout is when a pitcher throws three "strikes" to a batter, and the batter doesn't hit the ball.
His Time in the Major Leagues
During September 2008, Lowery played in five games. He had an ERA of 10.38. The ERA is a statistic that shows how many earned runs a pitcher gives up per nine innings. A lower ERA is usually better.
Life After Playing Baseball
After he stopped playing baseball professionally, Devon Lowery did not leave the sport. He became a coach! He now works with younger players in the Royals' farm system. This means he helps new players develop their skills, just like he did.
