Dan Runzler

Last updated

18+1⁄3innings pitched. He also appeared in one game for the Single-A short season Salem-Keizer Volcanoes of the Northwest League, allowing one run in one inning of work. [8]

In 2008, Runzler started the season with the Single-A Augusta Greenjackets of the South Atlantic League (SAL) but struggled. [9] In 20 games, he had an 0–1 record, a 5.47 ERA, 26 strikeouts, 19 walks, and 25 hits allowed in 24+2⁄3 innings before getting demoted to Salem-Keizer in midseason. [8] [9] In 27 games for the Volcanoes, he had an 0–1 record, a 2.10 ERA, 43 strikeouts, 21 walks, and 19 hits allowed in 30 innings. [8] Runzler pitched through a stress fracture in his right foot during the latter part of the 2008 season, and he arrived at spring training early to help get himself in shape for the 2009 season. [9]

Runzler played for four different teams within the Giants farm system in 2009. He began the season with Augusta, where pitching coach Steve Kline helped him refine his pitching mechanics and focus more on throwing pitches in the strike zone. [9] He earned a spot on the SAL mid-season All-Star team but did not participate in the game because he was promoted to the Single-A advanced San Jose Giants in the California League on June 8. [2] He did not allow a run in his first 15 games with San Jose; combined with his last appearances with Augusta, Runzler threw 32+2⁄3 consecutive scoreless innings. [2] Runzler pitched in 19 games with San Jose before moving up to the Double-A Connecticut Defenders in the Eastern League. After seven appearances for them, he was promoted to the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies in the Pacific Coast League (PCL), with whom he threw two scoreless innings before being called up to the Giants in September when rosters expanded. [8] [9] In 47 games across the four minor league levels, he had a 3–1 record, an 0.76 ERA, 83 strikeouts, 24 walks, and 23 hits allowed in 59 innings. [8] For his efforts in the minor leagues, he was named the 2009 This Year in Minor League Baseball Awards Overall Reliever of the Year. [9]

Major leagues (2009–12)

On September 4, 2009, Runzler made his MLB debut against the Milwaukee Brewers, striking out center fielder Jody Gerut on three pitches. [10] With that appearance, Runzler became the first player in Giants' history to play minor league baseball at four levels and appear in the major leagues in the same season. [2] Runzler appeared in 11 games with San Francisco in 2009, striking out 11 batters in eight innings with an ERA of 1.04. [2] He did not allow a run until his final outing of the year, on October 2, when Henry Blanco of the San Diego Padres hit a solo home run against him. [9]

Ranked the fifth-best prospect in the Giants organization by Baseball America in 2010, Runzler made the Opening Day roster for the first time in his career. [2] He got his first major league win on May 4, pitching a scoreless 11th inning and striking out three in a 12-inning, 9–6 victory over the Florida Marlins. [11] He had a 5.00 ERA through May 26, but in his next 16 games through July 8, Runzler allowed just one earned run. [12] In the July 8 contest, against the Brewers, Runzler entered the game with one out in the sixth, the bases loaded, and San Francisco clinging to a 6–3 lead. He got through the inning without allowing any runs to score, then received a chance to have his first MLB at bat in the bottom of the inning, as manager Bruce Bochy wanted him to pitch in the seventh inning as well. Facing David Riske, Runzler fouled a ball off his knee. Unable to finish the at bat, he was placed on the disabled list with a fractured left patella. [2] [13] He returned in September and made five more appearances, allowing no runs. [12] In 41 games, he had a 3–0 record, a 3.03 ERA, 37 strikeouts, 20 walks, and 29 hits allowed in 32+2⁄3 innings. [1] He was left off the playoff roster as the Giants won the 2010 World Series, their first series triumph since 1954. [14] [15]

Runzler began the 2011 season with the Giants but struggled, posting a 6.41 ERA in his first 18 games. On May 28, he was optioned to Fresno to make room for Casilla, who was activated from the disabled list. [16] [17] While he was in Fresno, the Giants used him as a starting pitcher, though sportswriter Andrew Baggarly thought the move was a temporary one meant to get him more time on the mound. [18] On August 16, Runzler was recalled when Sergio Romo was placed on the disabled list. [19] Runzler was called on to make a spot start on August 21 after Jonathan Sánchez was injured. [20] He gave up four runs in only 1+2⁄3 innings against the Houston Astros, but the Giants ultimately won 6–4 in 11 innings. [21] Afterwards, Eric Surkamp was called up to join the rotation. [22] Both pitchers were sent to Fresno on August 28 to make room for Romo and Andrés Torres to return from the disabled list, [23] but they were recalled on September 6 after rosters had expanded. [2] [16] [24] In 17 games (10 starts) for Fresno, Runzler had a 2–3 record, a 3.98 ERA, 59 strikeouts, 32 walks, and 47 walks in 52 innings. [8] He did not allow a run in 11 September appearances with San Francisco, lowing his ERA by 1.51. [16] Runzler exited the final game of the season on September 28 with what was later diagnosed as a torn latissimus dorsi muscle. [2] [25] In 31 games, he had a 1–2 record, a 6.26 ERA, 25 strikeouts, 16 walks, and 29 hits allowed in 27+1⁄3 innings pitched. [1]

After aggravating his lat muscle injury during the first week of spring training in 2012, Runzler began the season on the disabled list. [26] Runzler consulted sports physician James Andrews, who determined that surgery for the injury was unnecessary. [2] He rehabilitated in extended spring training and with San Jose before being activated from the disabled list and assigned to Fresno on June 27. [2] In 29 games for Fresno, Runzler had an 0–2 record, a 6.00 ERA, 33 strikeouts, 14 walks, and 36 hits allowed in 27 innings. [8] He was called up on September 4 after rosters expanded. [27] He pitched in six games without allowing a run, striking out five, walking three, and allowing one hit in 3+2⁄3 innings. [1] Runzler was not on the postseason roster as the Giants won the 2012 World Series, their second in three years. [28] [29] After the season, Runzler pitched for the Scottsdale Scorpions of the Arizona Fall League. In 10 games, he had a 1–1 record, a 3.38 ERA, 11 strikeouts, seven walks, and six hits allowed in eight innings. [8]

Minor leagues (2013–14)

An unlikely candidate to make the Giants roster in 2013, as San Francisco had three other left-handed relievers, Runzler was optioned to Fresno on March 24. [30] In 51 games for the Grizzlies, he had a 3–7 record, a 5.68 ERA, 50 strikeouts, 37 walks, and 58 hits allowed in 52+1⁄3 innings. [8] He was designated for assignment on September 3 and outrighted to the Grizzlies three days later. [2] [31]

Runzler was invited to spring training in 2014 but returned to Fresno to start the season. [2] In 39 games, he had a 1–5 record, a 3.30 ERA, 53 strikeouts, 36 walks, and 38 hits allowed in 46+1⁄3 innings. [8] He was released on July 30 so he could play for a team in Japan. [32]

Orix Buffaloes

The same day as his release, Runzler signed with the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball. [32] Runzler did not appear with Orix's main club, but did appear in six games in the Japan Western League. He registered a 4.50 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 10 innings pitched. [8]

Journeyman (2014–2016)

On December 16, 2014, Runzler signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. [2] In 39 games for the PCL's Reno Aces in 2015, he had an 0–1 record, a 5.26 ERA, 40 strikeouts, 28 walks, and 48 hits allowed in 37+2⁄3 innings. [8] He was released on July 30. [2]

Runzler signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins that included an invitation to spring training on November 4, 2015. [2] [33] He began the 2016 season with the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings of the International League (IL). In 20 games, he had a 1–2 record, a 5.82 ERA, 18 strikeouts, 16 walks, and 24 hits allowed in 21+2⁄3 innings. [8] On June 22, 2016, Runzler was released. [34] He then signed with the Sugar Land Skeeters of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. [33] In 33 games, he had an 0–1 record, a 1.95 ERA, 29 strikeouts, 10 walks, and 36 hits allowed in 27⁄3 innings. [8]

Pittsburgh Pirates

Runzler signed a minor league deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates on December 1, 2016. [33] He spent most of the year with the IL's Indianapolis Indians. In 40 games, he had a 1–4 record, a 3.05 ERA, 36 strikeouts, 22 walks, and 43 hits allowed in 41+1⁄3 innings. [8] On September 10, the Pirates purchased his contract, returning him to the major leagues for the first time since 2012. [35] He did not allow a run in his first six outings, then gave up two runs in 2⁄3 of an inning against the Washington Nationals on September 29. [36] In Pittsburgh's last game of the year, on October 1, Runzler got two outs in the ninth and would have finished the inning, but an error by José Osuna allowed Wilmer Difo to reach, and Runzler gave up two runs before George Kontos entered to get the last out. Pittsburgh still won 11–8. [37] In eight games for Pittsburgh, Runzler had no record, a 4.50 ERA, four strikeouts, two walks, and seven hits allowed in four innings pitched. [1] He became a free agent on November 6. [1]

Journeyman (2018–2020)

On February 5, 2018, Runzler signed a minor league deal with the Tampa Bay Rays. [38] However, he was released on March 11. [39] He spent the 2018 season with the Skeeters again. In 53 games, he had a 4–2 record, a 2.81 ERA, 58 strikeouts, 27 walks, and 46 hits allowed in 48 innings. [8]

Runzler signed a minor league deal with the Boston Red Sox on February 1, 2019. [40] He was assigned to the Pawtucket Red Sox of the International League on April 3. [41] In 22 games, he had a 1–1 record, a 5.40 ERA, 22 strikeouts, 15 walks, and 26 hits allowed in 26+2⁄3 innings pitched. [8] He was released on July 15. [1] Seven days later, Runzler signed with the Skeeters for a third stint. [2] In 16 games, he had a 1–0 record, a 1.15 ERA, 17 strikeouts, three walks, and 17 hits allowed in 15+2⁄3 innings pitched. [8] He became a free agent following the season. [2]

On February 18, 2020, Runzler signed with the Sultanes de Monterrey of the Mexican League. [2] However, the entire 2020 Mexican League season was cancelled because of the impact of COVID-19. [42] On March 5, 2021, Runzler was released by the Sultanes. [2]

Coaching career

After the Sultanes released him, Runzler took a job with Sirious Baseball, a youth and high school baseball training organization in Campbell, California, as the director of pitching development. [43] On April 9, 2021, Runzler was hired as the pitching coach for the Milwaukee Milkmen of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball. [44] He will continue to work with Sirious during the offseason. [43]

On March 3, 2022, Runzler was hired as the pitching coach for the San Jose Giants, the Low-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, for the 2022 season. [45]

Career statistics and pitching style

Runzler pitched in the major leagues for parts of five seasons: four with the Giants (2009–12) and one with the Pirates (2017). In 97 games, he had a 4–2 record, a 3.89 ERA, 82 strikeouts, 46 walks, and 72 hits allowed in 76+1⁄3 innings pitched. The Giants experimented with using him as a starter in 2011, but only one of his MLB appearances was a start. [1] [18] The Giants won the World Series in two out of his four seasons with them, though he was not a part of the postseason roster either time. [1]

Runzler's pitching repertoire consisted of a fastball, a slider, and a changeup. In 2009, he threw a curveball 3.2% of that time, but he stopped throwing it again until 2012, when he threw it 12.7% of the time. The fastball (75.5%) and slider (22.5%) were his main pitches, as he only threw the changeup 1% of the time during his career. [46] His fastball, which reporter Andrew Baggarly described as "tantalizing," travelled in the mid-90 mph range (approximately 145 km/h). [31] [47] However, control problems prevented him from remaining in the major leagues. [32]

Personal life

On November 19, 2011, Runzler married Michelle Phalen, a sports reporter for KSBW-TV in Salinas, California. Originally from Scotts Valley, California, Michelle played tennis at Occidental College. [2] [48] [49]
