It had been 685 days since Drew Rasmussen’s last competitive game. During that nearly two year period he had been on a roller coaster ride like none other. Rasmussen had been an unsigned first round draft pick, gone through a second Tommy John Surgery, then inked as a sixth round draft pick of the Milwaukee Brewers. Now, on day number 685, he found himself on the mound at Miller Park.
“Before I took my first warm up pitch, I made sure to run out to the mound and take a look around,” said Rasmussen while reminiscing about his return to competitive baseball.
