FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Eddie Motl Friday, Feb. 17, 2017 [email protected] Jenn Inglesino [email protected] NICK SWISHER JOINS FOX SPORTS 2009 World Series Champion and MLB All-Star Serves as Studio Analyst New York – World Series Champion and Major League Baseball All-Star, Nick Swisher, joins FOX Sports as a studio analyst for the 2017 season. The announcement was made today by John Entz, President of Production and Executive Producer, FOX Sports. Recently retired, Swisher, a fan-favorite with an infectious personality throughout his 12- year playing career, makes his 2017 debut on FS1’s MLB Whiparound this April and appears regularly as a studio analyst during FOX Sports’ pregame coverage on Saturdays during the regular season. Swisher made his first ever appearance as a studio analyst during FOX’s World Series coverage in 2014. “Swish was impressive as an analyst for us during the 2014 World Series and we knew we wanted to engage with him once he made the decision to retire,” said Entz. “His positivity and clear love for the game comes through on screen and we love that about him. We also just found out that he likes to go shark diving which is always a plus.” “I’m super excited for this new chapter and can’t wait to get out to the FS1 studios in a few short weeks,” said Nick Swisher. Swisher announced his retirement today via a post to the Players Tribune and on his twitter account @NickSwisher. Drafted 16th overall in 2002, Swisher’s successful Major League career spanned across five different franchises: Oakland Athletics (2004-2007), Chicago White Sox (2008), New York Yankees (2009-2012), Cleveland Indians (2013-2015) and Atlanta Braves (2015). Swisher was selected to the American League All-Star team in 2010 as a member of the New York Yankees, where he played an integral part in earning the team’s record 27th World Series title in 2009. Swisher finishes his career with a .249 batting average, 803 RBIs and 245 homeruns. --FOX SPORTS-- .

A's Select C Tyler Soderstrom in First Round of First-Year Player Draft
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 10, 2020 A’s Select C Tyler Soderstrom in First Round of First-Year Player Draft OAKLAND, Calif. – The Oakland A’s selected catcher Tyler Soderstrom from Turlock High School with the 26th selection in the first round of the 2020 First-Year Player Draft, the club announced today. Soderstrom was the Gatorade California Baseball Player of the Year for 2019-20. He played in just five games for Turlock (Calif.) High School this year before the season ended early, but hit .450 with four home runs and a 1.340 OPS in 28 games as a junior. The 18-year-old left-handed hitter had a .373 career average in 82 games for the Bulldogs and was ranked as the No. 7 high school prospect by Baseball America. Soderstrom was rated as the 19th best 2020 draft prospect by milb.com. Soderstrom is the son of Steve Soderstrom, who was San Francisco’s first round pick in 1993. Steve pitched professionally for seven seasons, including three starts with the Giants in 1996. This is the third time the A’s have used their first round pick on the son of a first round pick. In 2002, Oakland selected Nick Swisher, son of Steve (1973, White Sox) and in 1994 the A’s drafted Ben Grieve, son of Tom (1966, Senators). The Soderstrom’s are the 10th father and son duo to be selected in the first round. This marks just the second time in the last seven years the A’s have selected a high school player with their first pick in the draft, with the other being outfielder Austin Beck in 2017.

Big League Salary
Math in the News NCCTM 2010 Big League Salary Lauren Redman and Phil Brame Wake Forest University Introduction: Every year, professional athletes’ salaries increase and every year these increases bring up conversations about salary caps and in Major League Baseball. Recently, USA Today created a website that contains information about each Major League team, its team payroll, and the salaries of the 25 highest paid players for the last 22 years. Materials: Computers with Internet Access and Excel (or Graphing Calculators), Worksheet Objective: To apply models of best fit to real-world data. NCSCOS: Algebra II: 2.04 Create and use best-fit mathematical models of linear, exponential, and quadratic functions to solve problems involving sets of data. NCTM Standards: Problem Solving, Communication, Multiple Representations 21st Century Skills: Core Subject, Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, Technology Skills, Life and Career Skills Activities: Provide background on data and introduce worksheet. Have students work in small groups stopping to discuss conclusions from each part with the entire class. *Most of the data is provided in tables on the worksheet for convenience and time considerations. If more time and computers are available, the worksheet without data filled in can be used and students can find the data themselves using this website: http://content.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/salaries/default.aspx. Part I: Students analyze data from a graph displaying the most expensive player’s salary since 1990 and make predictions about the most expensive player’s salary in 2020 as the beginning step in using trendlines without actually finding the line of best fit.
