MLB fans are tuning in to watch the American League Wild Card game — it’s the Tampa Bay Rays vs. the Oakland Athletics at RingCentral Coliseum. It’s the first time the Rays have been to the playoffs since 2013. While Oakland A’s pitcher Sean Manaea will probably start the game, rookie Nathan Patterson will be at the ready.
Patterson signed with the A’s on July 31, 2019 after a video of him pitching a fastball at 96 miles per hour at a ballpark event went viral.
And people say PUMPING GAS isn’t a career. Congrats to Nathan Patterson on the A’s signing

When not on the field, the 23-year-old Nathan Patterson spends time with his pretty girlfriend Taylor Choate. While her Instagram account is private, Patterson’s gram is not — and he often shares cute couple photos including the bikini pic below.
The Tampa Bay Rays vs. Oakland Athletics game will broadcast live on Wednesday, October 2 at 8 pm on ESPN.
