Braves sign viral star LHP Chris Nunn to minor league contract

The Braves have signed left handed reliever Chris Nunn to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training, according to Robert Murray.

Who is Chris Nunn, you ask? On the surface he is a 29-year-old lefty who has never thrown a pitch in the Majors and has bounced around from various minor league organizations in recent years. Dig a little deeper on the Google machine and you’ll find he is somewhat of a viral social media star.

CBS Sports featured Nunn in a story on how the use of video and social media has brought exposure to many players who slipped through the cracks for whatever reason.
