TALKS CHRISTIANITY
Adam Parrish Warren (born August 25, 1987) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the San Diego Padres. He has previously played for the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners. Before beginning his professional career, Warren pitched in college baseball for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Warren made his MLB debut with the Yankees on June 29, 2012. The Yankees traded him to the Cubs before the 2016 season, and the Cubs traded him back to the Yankees during the 2016 season. The Yankees traded Warren to the Mariners in 2018.
After Warren's senior season, Warren was drafted in the fourth round of the 2009 Major League Baseball draft by the New York Yankees, with the 136th overall selection. Warren signed with the Yankees, and made his professional debut that season with the Staten Island Yankees of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League.
Warren started the 2010 season with the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, where he went 7–5 with a 2.22 ERA in 15 starts, before he was promoted to the Trenton Thunder of the Class AA Eastern League. On August 17, 2010, while pitching for the Thunder, Warren set a franchise record by striking out 15 batters in one game. He was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for the performance. In 2011, pitching for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees of the Class AAA International League, Warren was named to the 24th Triple-A All-Star Game.
Warren made his major-league debut for the Yankees on June 29, 2012, replacing an injured CC Sabathia in the Yankees' starting rotation. Warren gave up 6 runs in 2 1/3 innings in his first start versus the Chicago White Sox, highlighted by a Gordon Beckham two-run double in the top of the 2nd inning and a solo home run to Paul Konerko to lead off the top of the 3rd inning. He was relieved by David Phelps in the top of the 3rd, and would receive a no-decision as the Yankees lost the game 14–7. He was sent back down to Triple-A the very next day. Warren was called up to the Yankees on September 1, 2012, when the big league rosters expanded.
