Evan Scribner
When Evan Scribner flew from Phoenix to Seattle in early September of 2017, he had a lot to look forward to.
The veteran relief pitcher for the Mariners had been told to rejoin the team in Seattle after making three rehab appearances in Triple A, completing his recovery from an elbow injury that had sidelined him most of the season. Even better. his younger brother Troy, a rookie pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, was going to be in town that weekend, marking the first time the brothers would face each other in the majors. To celebrate the occasion, the rest of their family was traveling across the country from their hometown of Washington, Connecticut, for a reunion.
The Mariners, though, had other plans. “They called me that night and released me,” Scribner recalled many years later, the disappointment still apparent in his voice.1 The weekend wasn’t a total loss for the Scribners, though – they still got to see Troy pitch two scoreless innings in the series finale. But for Evan, it marked the end of a seven-year major-league career (2011-17).
By the time he was released by Seattle, Scribner, a 6-foot-3 right-hander, had already had a full taste of the business of baseball. He was traded twice, had his career derailed by injuries, and was shuttled between the minors and majors. Even so, he played a key role in the Oakland Athletics’ historic late-season surge to the postseason in 2012; three years later, he pitched in a career-high 54 games for the A’s.
It was more than Scribner thought possible while growing up in a small rural town in northwestern Connecticut with a population of barely over 3,000 which had never sent a player to the major leagues. “We dreamed it,” Scribner said. “I didn’t think it would actually happen.”2
Evan Lee Scribner was born on July 19, 1985, in New Milford, Connecticut, to David and Gail (Cockburn) Scribner. David Scribner, a former college baseball player at Western Connecticut State University, owned a furniture store in Danbury. Gail, a former equestrian competitor, helped in the store; she also worked in the local library and later as a florist/gardener. Evan and his younger brothers Miles and Troy grew up in the rural town of Washington, playing Little League ball and rooting for the New York Yankees as they won four World Series in the late 1990s. “I wanted to play shortstop for the Yankees,” said Evan. “It sparked our passion for the game.”3
All three Scribner boys were stars at Shepaug Valley High School and went on to play for colleges in Connecticut.4 At Shepaug, one of the smallest high schools in the state, Evan also played soccer and basketball until his senior year, when he switched to cross country and swimming to lessen his chances of getting injured.5 By his sophomore year, though, he was being touted as a baseball player to watch. Former major-leaguer Matt Merullo, a family friend and scout for the Diamondbacks, was already watching Scribner.6
The summer after his sophomore year, Scribner hurled shutouts a week apart in two different summer leagues in two different age brackets (Connie Mack and American Legion). “No doubt he will be the ace of the Shepaug staff next season,” wrote one local sportswriter. “Maybe it is premature, but pretty soon they might be able to add the name Scribner to the long list … that makes up the fine pitchers in Shepaug High School history.”7
By his senior year, Scribner more than exceeded those lofty expectations, going 14-0 as Shepaug had a perfect 20-0 regular season and advanced to the semifinals of the state tournament.8 Connecticut high school baseball had an inning-count limit, so Scribner often pitched for parts of multiple games each week, playing shortstop when not on the mound.
Despite Scribner’s success, Central Connecticut State University in New Britain was the only Division I school to recruit him, and even that was only as a walk-on. It didn’t take Scribner long, though, to make his mark. In his freshman year. he was named the Most Valuable Player of the Northeast Conference tournament after pitching in all five of Central’s games. On the final day of the double-elimination event, with Central needing to win back-to-back games against Wagner, Scribner saved the first game and started and won the second. “I started in the bullpen and got hot toward the end of the season,” Scribner said. “We had an amazing team that year.”9
Scribner went on to have a stellar career at Central, setting records for career wins (23) and saves (14).10 He gave up on being a two-way player, though, after going 1-for-16 at the plate during his sophomore season as the shortstop on days he wasn’t pitching. “I couldn’t hit the curveball,” Scribner said.11
After not being selected in the MLB draft following his junior year, Scribner returned to Central for his senior year in 2007 and led the team in nearly every pitching category, throwing seven complete games.12 Scribner finally drew some attention from scouts who watched him pitch a shutout in his college finale. “A couple of them talked to me after the game,” Scribner said. “It was the only time I talked to anyone.”13
As it turned out, it was the Diamondbacks, based on Merullo’s recommendation, that drafted Scribner in the 28th round that year, making him the 853rd overall pick. “The first thing you notice about him is that he has that natural look and a big-league pitcher’s body,” Merullo said. “I’ve known him for a while and baseball is what he lives for. I like the way he competes.”14
Like most pitchers drafted in late rounds, Scribner was moved to the bullpen as he began his pro career. After 18 appearances with the Rookie League team at Missoula (Montana) in the Pioneer League, he earned a promotion to Class A South Bend.
In 2008, his second year in pro ball, Scribner had 62 strikeouts in 44 innings and had converted all nine of his save attempts for two different teams in Class A. In mid-July, however, he was surprised to find himself traded to San Diego. Even more surprising was who Arizona got in return – 14-year major league veteran Tony Clark. The Diamondbacks had been rumored to be trying to obtain Clark, who had played for them the previous three seasons, but Scribner’s name hadn’t been mentioned in the speculation.15
“That trade was super weird,” Scribner said. “You can’t get traded until you have a full year of service with the team you got drafted by.” As disconcerting as the trade was, being dealt for an established major-leaguer was a confidence boost for Scribner, who said, “That was the first time I realized I could maybe make it in the major leagues.”16
After the trade, Scribner switched teams in the California League, going from Visalia to Lake Elsinore. He no longer was a closer but still put up impressive numbers. In 23 1/3 innings he had 31 strikeouts and only three walks, with a 2.70 ERA. Playing for four different teams over his first two seasons in pro ball, in 114 2/3 innings Scribner gave up just 84 hits while recording 154 strikeouts and issuing only 27 walks, a K/BB ratio of 5.7 and an ERA of 2.35.
The impressive K/BB ratio would become a trademark of Scribner’s career, something he attributed to advice from his father: “Keep it simple; get ahead; throw strikes. Throwing a strike one was always my biggest thing.”17 It also helped that while Scribner’s fastball topped out in the low 90s, he was able to consistently throw his curveball for strikes. “My curveball for a strike got me to Double A pretty quickly,” Scribner said.18
Scribner spent the next two seasons as the closer for the San Antonio Missions in the Class AA Texas League, being named an all-star both years. As he continued to excel, his confidence grew. Late in the 2009 season he said, “Coming in from a small school, when I got to rookie ball all those guys were from big-name schools . . . and here I am from Central Connecticut. I didn’t want to be one of those guys who plays two years of rookie ball and gets released. But I had no idea that I would have this kind of success and would get so close to the majors so fast.”19
As well as Scribner was pitching, though, there was no place for him to go – especially after a deal at the trade deadline in 2009 in which San Diego sent Jake Peavy to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for four pitchers. “A couple of us kind of got buried in San Antonio,” Scribner said. “We thought since we had such a good year we could go to Triple A. That was a frustrating time. We were just stuck.”20
Scribner was finally promoted to Triple A in 2011, beginning the season in Tucson in the Pacific Coast League (PCL). He wasn’t there long before he got called up to San Diego to replace injured pitcher Joe Thatcher. Scribner made his big-league debut on April 26, pitching two scoreless innings in an 8-2 loss to Atlanta. After giving up an infield hit to Jason Heyward, he got future Hall of Famer Chipper Jones to hit into a double play. “I just didn’t want to throw a ball my first pitch,” Scribner said.21
Scribner’s first taste of life in the big leagues lasted only six games; he was sent back to Tucson in May when Orlando Hudson came off the DL. He made a good first impression, though, with a 2.45 ERA in 11 innings. Scribner was called up again in mid-June but was sent back down later that month after giving up four runs in back-to-back appearances, including an outing against Boston where all five batters he faced reached base. His fate with the Padres was sealed when he tore his latissimus dorsi (lat) muscle while pitching for Tucson. Eventually he was put on waivers and claimed by Oakland. “The Padres had a whole stable of relievers,” Scribner said. “They could let me go. I was grateful to go to the A’s. Their rehab program was super good.”22
Being left unprotected by the Padres also gave Scribner extra motivation. “I wanted to prove they made a mistake,” he said. “But that’s the way it is in the big leagues: You can fall off the wheel fast, especially if you get hurt.”23
A fully healed Scribner had a strong spring training in 2012 for Oakland, giving up just two runs in 11 innings. That earned him a trip to Japan for the season-opening series against Seattle – he was one of the three non-roster players each team was allowed to bring in case they needed to replace an injured player. Scribner never got put on the A’s active roster, but did pitch in an exhibition game.
For the second season in a row, Scribner found himself opening the year in the PCL, this time with Sacramento. For the first month of the season his locker was near that of colorful and controversial Manny Ramirez, who after slugging 555 home runs over 19 seasons was trying to make it back to the majors.24 Ramirez never made it back to the majors, but Scribner was called up in June. He stayed in Oakland just long enough to pitch 4 1/3 scoreless innings in two games, picking up a three-inning save – the only save he earned in the majors – in a 10-2 victory over San Diego. Instead of sulking after being demoted, he focused on getting back to the top level. “I wanted to show them that if they needed to go down and call somebody up again that I would be an obvious choice,” said Scribner, who was indeed recalled later that month.25
This time, Scribner stayed with the A’s the rest of the season. One of the highlights came on September 22, when dozens of family and friends traveled from Connecticut to watch Oakland play in Yankee Stadium. With the score tied at 5-5, Scribner came in to pitch the 11th inning, retiring the heart of the Yankees lineup in order. In the 12th inning, though, he found himself facing one of his childhood heroes, Derek Jeter, with the bases loaded and two outs and the crowd of over 44,000 going crazy. “I said to myself, ‘I’ve seen how this happens a million times,’” recalled Scribner, who got Jeter to fly out to extend the game, which the Yankees eventually won in 14 innings. Scribner’s fastball, which usually topped out at 92 mph, hit 93 on the radar gun that day. “That was super cool, pitching there,” he said.26
The season got even more exciting for Scribner and his teammates over the next few weeks as Oakland – a team forecast to lose 100 games – won eight of its last nine games to overtake Texas and win the AL West for its first division title in six years.27 Scribner became a key member of the A’s bullpen, registering his first two career victories during that span. On September 25 he got his first win after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning against Texas and then watching the A’s score the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning.
Scribner’s second win came on October 3, the final day of the regular season. The A’s, who had clinched a wild-card berth a few days earlier, rallied from a 5-1 deficit to defeat the Rangers, 12-5, clinching the division title in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 30,067 at the Oakland Coliseum. Scribner entered the game in the third inning in relief of starter A.J. Griffin and pitched three shutout innings, leaving the game to a standing ovation. All three games that weekend were sold out. “That was probably the coolest baseball I ever played,” Scribner said. “The crowd was nuts that whole series.”28
The A’s, who had trailed Texas by 13 games at one point, became only the fifth team to come from that many games behind to win their division. They overcame a five-game deficit in their final nine games, sweeping the two-time defending AL champion Rangers over the final weekend and ending the season on a six-game winning streak. They also did it with the lowest payroll in baseball.29
Scribner did his part, pitching 9 2/3 scoreless innings over his final six appearances. For the season, he appeared in 30 games, holding right-handed batters to a .183 batting average against. He also got into one game in the A’s five-game American League Division Series loss against Detroit, pitching two scoreless innings. It was to be his only postseason appearance.
After being a key contributor to Oakland’s success in 2012, the next two seasons were frustrating ones for Scribner, who appeared 31 times in the majors while pitching in 71 Triple-A games. He made the A’s roster as a long reliever to start the 2013 season but was sent back to Sacramento after pitching three innings on April 19. “They needed a fresh arm,” Scribner said, noting that many of his teammates were upset that he was being sent down.30
The A’s were able to shuttle Scribner back and forth between Oakland and Sacramento because he still had minor-league options remaining, so he didn’t need to clear waivers every time they sent him down. To add to Scribner’s frustration over those two seasons, the number of appearances he made in Triple A was limited to keep his arm fresh in case Oakland needed to call him up. “It’s frustrating to know that I am kind of wasting away in Triple A,” he said at the time. “I’ve been pitching so well, and I feel like it’s all a waste.”31
By 2015, Scribner was out of minor-league options. As a result, for the only time in his career, he spent a full season in the majors, appearing in 54 games. By the end of April, after striking out the side in order – Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and David Freese – in the ninth inning of a 6-2 win over the Angels, he was being called the most reliable pitcher in the A’s bullpen. Scribner attributed his success to a cut fastball which he added to his arsenal, giving him a third pitch in addition to his regular fastball and curveball. “He’s moved up to that, right now, that eighth-inning role, the setup-type role and he deserves to,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “The slider/cutter has been a terrific pitch for him. His fastball and his curveball have been more up and down, now he has a pitch to go side to side. We saw that there’s some hitters taking some funky swings at it. He’s pitching with a lot of confidence on top of it.”32
It turned out to be a tale of two seasons for Scribner. In his first 27 appearances, through June 6, he had a 2.01 ERA with 36 strikeouts and just two walks in 31⅓ innings. “The first half was probably the best I ever pitched,” Scribner said.33 In his final 27 appearances, though, he gave up 11 home runs and had a 6.91 ERA. For the season, he had 64 strikeouts and only four walks, leading all relievers with a 16:1 K/BB ratio and with his 0.6 walks per nine innings. But he also led all relievers in home runs allowed, with 14. Scribner’s season ended early when he went on the DL at the beginning of September with a torn lat muscle.34
Scribner blamed his second-half woes on his heavy workload in the first part of the season – he pitched 15 times in May and another 13 in June, almost all in the late innings. At one point, Scribner was leading the league in appearances and innings by a reliever. “They absolutely wore me out,” he said. “The year before I had only thrown 40 innings. I ran out of gas right around the All-Star break.”35
That offseason, the A’s decided Scribner wasn’t likely to make their 25-man roster, and he was traded again, this time to Seattle for minor-league pitcher Trey Cochran-Gill. “Evan brings us another experienced Major League reliever who has exhibited strong control of the strike zone as well as the ability to miss bats,” said Mariners general manager Jerry DiPoto.36
Scribner spent the offseason rehabbing the torn lat he had suffered at the end of the 2015 season. During his first live outing in spring training for Seattle, though, he tore the same muscle again. “It just might not have healed all the way,” Scribner said.37
After missing most of the 2016 season with his injury, Scribner returned for the last month, just in time to help Seattle make a playoff push which ultimately fell three games short of earning a wild-card berth. Pitching mostly in the seventh inning, Scribner pitched 15 scoreless innings in 12 games, earning three holds. He gave up only five hits and had 15 strikeouts and just two walks. Opponents hit .111 against him. “I was super fresh again,” he said. “I felt great, and we almost made the playoffs.”38
Seattle manager Scott Servais called Scribner “stable” and “trustworthy.” Servais expanded, “You put him in the game and you have a pretty good idea of what you’re going to get. He’ll get hit once in a while. He’ll give up a home run here or there. It happens. But he will go after guys, and he has really good command of the fastball.”39
The Mariners penciled Scribner in as their eighth-inning set-up man for 2017. But his elbow started to bother him in spring training. Scribner kept pitching but was ineffective, giving up three homers in 7⅓ innings. On April 25, he gave up three runs in an inning against Detroit, raising his ERA to 11.05. That turned out to be his final major-league appearance. “I was trying to pitch through it,” Scribner said. “I thought it would work itself out and it never did.”40
The injury was diagnosed as a flexor bundle strain in his right elbow. Two doctors recommended that Scribner get a platelet-rich plasma injection in his elbow. The procedure uses a patient’s own blood cells to accelerate healing – and requires a three-month recovery, so Scribner knew he would be sidelined for most of the season.41 As he recovered and prepared for some rehab outings for Tacoma in Triple A, Scribner was optimistic. “This organization is really good,” he said. “They care a lot about their players and take care of their players.” He was also excited about his brother Troy being called up to the Angels in July.42
After giving up just one hit and no runs in four rehab appearances,43 Scribner was told to fly up to Seattle to rejoin the team – only to be told upon arriving that he was being released. “I never really got to see if ‘it’ was still in there, you know?” he said.44
Tampa Bay signed Scribner to a minor-league contract and invited him to spring training in 2018. After the Rays released him in March, Scribner opted to play for the New Britain Bees of the independent Atlantic League instead of taking more money to play for a team in the Caribbean. He still dreamt of playing in the majors at the same time as his brother, and knew he would be on more scouts’ radars if he stayed in the U.S. “It was fun to play back in Connecticut,” Scribner said.45
Scribner pitched well for New Britain, but no MLB team signed him; thus, he retired at the age of 32. “The baseball season had been such a grind,” he said. “At that point, it was 11 years of the grind.”46
The economics of the game also were against him. “It has been weird,” Scribner said. “I feel like I have seen a big change in how teams are run in the big leagues. Instead of using more established guys, they use the younger guys that they can option back and forth. They will use a guy who throws just 2-3 innings in a game for them, and they will just send him back to Triple-A and bring up another guy who is fresh for the next game. With guys like me who have had more than three years of service time, they can’t do that.”47
Scribner had some impressive accomplishments, especially considering that his fastball averaged a modest 90.1 mph throughout his career. Dating back to 2014, he had issued only six walks (one intentional) and hit four batters in his last 93 innings. During those four years (2014-17), he had the lowest BB/9 ratio (0.58) of any pitcher who had thrown at least 90 innings. It’s not surprising that over that time, he also led all pitchers with a 73.1 percent first-strike rate.48
Scribner pitched in 145 big-league games with a 4.15 ERA. His ERA+ was 95, meaning that he was basically a league-average pitcher. Even so, it was a noteworthy career for someone who grew up in one of the smallest towns in Connecticut and attended one of the smallest schools. Looking back, Scriber described his achievement as “amazing.”49
As of 2025, Scribner (who has never married) was living in the Phoenix area. “I have dabbled in a lot of different things,” he said. “I’m still trying to figure out exactly what direction I want to go.”50 Scribner escaped the midsummer Arizona heat each year by spending time back in Connecticut. There he worked with youth baseball players – and even played in some games in the amateur Tri-State Baseball League, where he could play shortstop and take his swings.
