CARSON WHISENHUNT'S MLB DEBUT IN GIANTS' LOSS TO PIRATES

It took eight pitches for Giants top pitching prospect Carson Whisenhunt to get his "Welcome to Major League Baseball" moment Monday in front of the home fans at Oracle Park.

Whisenhunt’s second pitch of his MLB debut was hit 100 miles per hour and traveled 382 feet to center field by Pittsburgh Pirates leadoff batter Tommy Pham, falling nine feet short of the fence and into Jung Hoo Lee’s glove. The next batter, Andrew McCutchen, also flew out to Lee, but Whisenhunt wasn’t as lucky when the third batter he faced stepped into the box.
