Born without a right hand, southpaw Jim Abbott went directly from the University of Michigan to the Angels' starting rotation in the spring of 1989 without spending a day in the minor leagues. Many considered the move a publicity stunt by manager Doug Rader , but after struggling early, Abbott proved his doubters wrong by winning 12 games with a 3.92 ERA in his rookie season. RELATED LINKS

Jim Abbott from baseball-reference.com Jump directly to Library content from any website! On the mound, Abbott wore a right-hander's fielder's glove over the stump at the end of his right arm. While completing his follow-through after delivering a pitch, he rapidly switched the glove to his left hand so he could handle any balls hit back to him. Abbott's career had its ups and downs. In 1991 he looked like one of the best young left-handers in the game after winning 18 games for the Angels while posting a 2.89 ERA. He was traded to the Yankees in

b. Sept. 19, 1967, Flint, MI
Career Pitching Record Other Resources Abbott was the first baseball player to win the Sullivan Award as the nation's outstanding amateur athlete, in 1987. Born without a right hand, Abbott spent hours as a youngster bouncing a ball off a wall to practice fielding as well as throwing. He was the starting quarterback on his high school football team, which went to the finals of the Michigan state championship, and he showed enough promise as a pitcher to be drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays shortly after graduation. However, Abbott went to the University of Michigan on a baseball scholarship. He had a career record of 26 wins and 8 losses at the school. As a member of Team USA in 1987, he became the first American pitcher in 25 years to beat a Cuban team on Cuban soil. The team won a silver medal at the Pan-American Games and Abbott won the U. S. Baseball Federation's Golden Spikes award as the best amateur player in the country. In the 1988 Olympics, Abbott was the winning pitcher in a 5-3 victory over Japan that brought the U. S. its first gold medal in baseball. Chosen by the California Angels in the first round of the 1988 amateur draft, he went directly to the major leagues and had a 12-12 record, with a 3.92 earned run average, in 1989. In 1991, his best season to date, he won 18 and lost 11. Despite an ERA of 2.77, Abbott was only 7-15 in 1992, when the Angels scored an average of only 2.54 runs in games that he started.

Then, without any minor league experience, Abbott was brought into the major leagues by the California Angels organization. F our years later the one-handed pitcher, who once commented that he wanted to be like Nolan Ryan and not like Pete Gray, realized part of that dream when he tossed this five-walk no hitter in Yankee Stadium.

20. Summer 1999 Michigan Today--Jim Abbott Returns To Baseball
'An arena I feel comfortable in' jim abbott returns to baseball. jim abbott ThatI had a lot of great friendships is mostly what I remember from baseball.
http://www.umich.edu/~newsinfo/MT/99/Sum99/mt10j99.html
Summer 1999
'An arena I feel comfortable in'
Jim Abbott returns to baseball Was he really back? He needed the test of a full season in the majors, and the Milwaukee Brewers have given him a chance to prove himself in the 1999 season. Joel Seguine of U-M News and Information Services interviewed Jim Abbott for Michigan Today in the locker room of the Brewers' spring training facility in Phoenix. Since the start of the season, it's been rocky going for Abbott. Through June 14 his record was 1-5, giving up 72 earned runs per nine innings (ERA), while both starting and relieving for the last-place Brewers. For his career Abbott was, as of June14, 86-105 with a 4.2 ERA. Highlights of Abbott's career Q: Michigan Today. You had such a wonderful amateur career. What are some of the memories you hold onto from those years?
Jim Abbott: That I had a lot of great friendships is mostly what I remember from baseball. It's part of the reason why I'm playing again; it expands the world you're exposed to and the people you come across. I started seeing some of the world because of baseball, different parts of the country traveling with the University of Michigan, playing with the USA team and moving around. I got exposed to so much. Q: I remember seeing a picture of you carrying the flag in the opening ceremonies of the Pan Am games That must have been a thrill.
