Rocket Scientist a Padre
San Diego pitcher Jason Szuminski became the first alumnus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to make it to the majors.
Szuminski, 25, a right-hander who has a degree in aerospace engineering, is also a first lieutenant in the Air Force and has worked on satellite programs. After the Padres open the season at Los Angeles today, he will switch over to the active reserve tomorrow. In four minor league seasons, Szuminski (pronounced zoo-MIN-skee) was 23-12 with a 3.99 earned run average.
"I want to do more than just make it," he said. "I want to be able to pitch well and contribute to the team."
