MIDLAND, Texas (KOSA) -On Wednesday, October 27, 2021, Atlanta Braves Manager Brian Snitker added Midland College (MC) graduate Tucker Davidson to the Braves World Series roster.
“I was on the taxi squad, which is composed of substitute players who shuffle between the major league team and its AAA affiliate depending on short-term needs,” Davidson explained. “Charlie Morton was pitching in Game 1 of the World Series and suffered a broken leg in the third inning. That meant a new pitcher was needed, and I got a call to go to Houston for the next game.”
On Sunday night, October 31, 2021, in Game 5 of the World Series, left-hander Davidson stepped on the mound at Truist Park in Atlanta to throw his first pitch in a World Series game.
