Managing Career of Dirk Diggler - OOTP20

[rybrady732]

Hey guys, so I am going to be giving it another crack over here in the baseball section. I recently began playing Out Of The Park Baseball 20 and Im a big fan. So i figured I might as well start fresh and keep track of my progression.

I will be making a manager and trying to work my way up the Big Leagues. For now I will be starting in the lower levels! I hope you guys enjoy following along as much as I enjoy progressing.

Updates will be screenshot based, or tweet style keeping it simple for myself. I hope you all stay tuned!

Who Is Dirk Diggler?

Unknown Tabbed To Lead Lake Monsters in 2019 Season

Burlington, VT - There is still snow on Centennial Field but that hasn't stopped the Oakland Athletics from making baseball moves in Vermont. The Lake Monsters have named Dirk Diggler their new manager for the 2019 season.

Diggler is a an unknown in the baseball world and its a question how he got the job. When asked all Diggler had to say was, "I applied.".

He will be replacing Aaron Nieckula who was skipper for four seasons and had great success with the Lake Monsters. Despite finishing 39-37 last season, (thanks for the prospects Oakland) Vermont was able to win a title in 2017.

As of two weeks go, Diggler, 28, was a golf course superintendent in New Jersey, probably making more than he is now, but the dude must love baseball. The highest level of competition he has seen is NCAA Division 2 baseball where he played at East Stroudsburg in Pennsylvania. Other than that, he has two NJ High School state championships to his name as a player. Not much of a resume to go off of huh?

With the season just four months away its almost time to put the skis away and break out the spikes!

Opening Day Matchup

*Real-Life Note* Hayden Wesneski was drafted in the 6th round by the New York Yankees, out of Sam Houston St. He currently plays for the Pulaski Yankees of the Appalachian League. Which is Rookie level. The rosters used are from opening day, obviously before the MLB Draft in June. We are certainly glad to have him though!

Baseball is Back in Burlington, Lake Monsters Go Down In Opener

Ninth Inning Rally Falls Short for Vermont

Burlington, VT - There was just under 2,000 fans on tap at Centennial Field on the campus of the University of Vermont for the Vermont Lake Monsters opening day game vs the Tri-City ValleyCats.

Vermont would jump out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning of Manager Dirk Diggler's first game at the helm, unfortunately it wouldn't last long in an 8-5 loss.

The ValleyCats were leading 5-3 in the top of the 8th when a walk and an error by Vermont second basemen Marcos Brito, would lead to a 3-run homer from ValleyCat DH Juan Paulino.

The homer would prove to be the game-winning hit as Vermont would pick up two runs in the final frame thanks to a sac-fly and an rbi single from Brito.

In his professional debut Vermont SP Hayden Wesneski would last just 3.2 innings, giving 10 hits and 5 earned runs. His opponent Tanner Andrews wouldn't fare much better lasting just 4 innings.

When asked about his reaction to his teams first game, Dirk Diggler said "You know, sometimes baseball is that simple, the team who plays harder and scores more runs, wins."

Player of the Game: Tri-City ValleyCats | DH Juan Paulino | 2-5, HR, 3 RBI, 3K
