The 22nd-ranked prospect in the Oakland Athletic\u2019s organization became the eighth Growler alum to make his major league debut when he appeared in the A\u2019s weekend series against the Padres on Sunday, September 17.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 6\u20197\u201d righty took the bump in Sunday\u2019s game versus the Padres, throwing 3 scoreless innings while not factoring in the decision. In his debut, Boyle struck out 4 while only allowing 1 hit through his 3 innings of work. Despite Boyle\u2019s strong performance, the A\u2019s dropped the game 10-1 to the Padres.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Boyle played for the Growlers during the 2018 season, appearing in seven games and posting a 3.68 ERA as the team\u2019s closer. Known for his high-octane fastball, Boyle closed out the first Growlers playoff win against the Kenosha Kingfish back in 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Notre Dame product threw 36 innings for the Fighting Irish in his 3 seasons with the team going 5-4 with 57 strikeouts. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Entering the 2020 season, Boyle was named to the Baseball America Preseason All-American Third Team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2020, Boyle was drafted in the 5th round of the MLB draft by the Cincinnati Reds. After missing most of the 2021 season due to injury, Boyle found his stride in 2022 with the Red\u2019s organization before being traded to the A\u2019s organization in July of 2023. Since starting the 2023 season in AA Chattanooga, Boyle has climbed his way up through the organization making stops in Midland and Las Vegas before getting the call-up to Oakland this past weekend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Boyle joins Zack Gelof who played for the Growlers in the 2019 season. Gelof made his major league debut for the A\u2019s back in July. Boyle is now the third Growler to make his MLB debut this season after Gelof and Mervis made their debuts earlier this season.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Kalamazoo, Mich. \u2013 On Sunday, former Kalamazoo Growler, Joe Boyle made his major league debut with the Oakland Athletics.
