Vegas Ballpark Nightmare for A's Pitchers | Oakland Athletics News

Jamie Arnold, Oakland A’s top pitching prospect, is relieved he’s not being called up to their Triple-A squad in Vegas—where the ballpark’s hitter-friendly conditions have turned into a pitcher’s nightmare, with over 100 runs scored in six games and pitchers barely lasting five innings. Opposing managers call it the craziest environment they’ve ever seen, and Arnold admits it’s shaken his confidence. But with the A’s soon moving to a new Vegas stadium featuring lower elevation and a humidor, pitchers will finally get a fair shot. Alongside rising stars like Drew Burress, Arnold is poised to anchor a bright future for the A’s rotation—and the league’s next big matchups might just be brewing.
