Bump trying to smooth his own path back to the Majors
Nate Bump is eighth in the league in ERA (2.96), but tied for most hits (76)
By John Wagner
He has spent time in the Major Leagues, winning a World Series ring with the Marlins in 2003. He’s a former first-round Draft pick after an All-American career at Penn State.
But this season, Nate Bump has a more modest goal in mind: He wants to prove he’s worthy of another chance to pitch in the big leagues.
The Lehigh Valley right-hander, who will turn 34 in late July, ranks eighth in the league with a 2.96 ERA. He is 5-3, which is especially impressive since he pitches for the team with the league’s worst record. But Bump also is tied for the IL lead with 76 hits allowed in 67 innings, and that is a source of concern.
