Thomas Pannone speaks to Let's Go Tribe about his Italian family, his love for Frank Sinatra, and his pitching idols
Thomas Pannone is taking everything day by day.
A former outfielder, Pannone didn't become a full-time pitcher until he was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 11th round of 2013. He spent the first few years of his development stretching out his arm and he's truly blossomed this season as a starting left-handed pitcher for the Lake County Captains.
Compared to his 2015 stint with the Captains, Pannone's ERA is down a full run, he's walking fewer batters, giving up fewer hits and is taking his starts deeper into games.
