I wonder how Cat Latos is doing these days.
Who is he? Mat Latos is a starting pitcher who will be heading into his 8th big league season this year, although he's currently a free agent. Latos came up with the San Diego Padres before being traded to the Reds when he seemed to be on the cusp of breaking out. His best season to date was in 2013, his second with the Reds.
How did he get here? The Reds have been in a slow but steady full rebuild process in the last year to two years, and Latos was one of the casualties. Miami picked him up in a trade for Anthony DeSclafani, one of five rookie starters to hold down a regular rotation spot for the Reds in 2015. After a lackluster stint with the Marlins, Latos actually made appearances for both L.A. area teams down the stretch.
Repeat offender? Yes
Other versions of this card: Here's Mat as a Dodger, later in the season. And here's the source photo for this card:
Airbrushed Score: 7
Comments: Los Rojos indeed.
It's like he just forgot how to pitch!
ReplyDeleteHe was awful for the Dodgers last year. I hope he can get back to being his old self, but I'm not confident that he will.
