SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Jesse Hahn’s impressive spring hit its first speed bump Sunday.
Unable to harness his command, the right-hander was tagged for seven runs in 3 1/3 innings in the A’s 9-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies at Salt River Fields.
Hahn entered the day having positioned himself nicely for one of the two available spots in Oakland’s rotation. Sunday’s dud, in and of itself, certainly doesn’t dash those hopes. But it makes for interesting watching the next time he takes the mound.
“I just know what I did wrong out there, I need to get the ball down,” he said.
