It’s day 2 of my countdown of the 64 local TV broadcasters who played in the majors. If you missed what this series is all about, check out the introduction.
Nitkowski had a major league career because he was left-handed. He played for eight different teams in ten years from 1995 to 2005 and was bad in pretty much all of them. He had a career record of 18-32 with a a 5.37 ERA. He had one solid season with Houston in 1998 and that’s pretty much it. That was also the only year he walked fewer than 4 batters per nine innings.
