Former Tiger named Rangers 5th starter

Published March 26, 2013 7:41 PM

Former Missouri Tiger pitcher Nick Tepesch will make his major league debut in 2013 as the fifth starter in the Texas Rangers starting rotation.

The 24-year old right-hander pitched last season in Class-A and Double-A, compiling a 11-6 combined record at both levels.

Tepesch had a very strong spring going before a March 22 outing against the Colorado Rockies when he gave up eight earned runs in just five innings of work.

Tepesch was a 14th round selection out of the University of Missouri by Texas in the 2010 MLB Draft.
