One of the biggest keys to the success of the 2005 White Sox was the solid bullpen, with several pitchers having career years at the same time. Dustin Hermanson was one of those pitchers. Remember that guy?
Dustin Hermanson was born December 21, 1972 in Springfield, Ohio. He played basketball as well as baseball at Kenton Ridge High School in Springfield; he was 10-0 with an 0.56 ERA as a senior.
The big righthander was drafted 3rd overall behind Paul Wilson (Mets) & Ben Grieve (A’s), and 10 picks before the Dodgers selected Paul Konerko, in the 1994 MLB Draft.
