Nick Gardewine (born August 15, 1993) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2017.

Career

Gardewine attended Effingham High School in Effingham, Illinois, and graduated in 2012. He played for the school's baseball team as a pitcher and finished his senior year with a 8–1 win-loss record, a 0.76 earned run average (ERA), and 74 strikeouts in 55 innings pitched. He then enrolled at Kaskaskia College and pitched for the school's baseball team in the National Junior College Athletic Association for one season. He had a 2.12 ERA, and threw a no-hitter in a game against Lake Land College, helping his team reach the JUCO World Series.[1]

The Texas Rangers selected Gardewine in the seventh round, with the 220th overall selection, of the 2013 MLB Draft.[2][3] He signed with the Rangers, and pitched in Minor League Baseball for the Arizona Rangers of the Rookie-level Arizona League in 2013 where he was 3-3 with 3.21 ERA in 14 games. [4][1] In 2014, Gardewine pitched for the Spokane Indians of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League, and had a 6–3 win-loss record and a 4.54 ERA. He played for the Hickory Crawdads of the Class A South Atlantic League in 2015, and had a 6–8 win-loss record and a 4.31 ERA. While pitching for Hickory, Gardewine tore his supraspinatus muscle. He rehabilitated the injury into the 2016 season, where he became a relief pitcher for the High Desert Mavericks of the Class A-Advanced California League.[4] In 29 relief appearances for Hickory in 2016, he was 5-1 with a 2.47 ERA.[5] Gardewine began the 2017 season with the Frisco RoughRiders of the Class AA Texas League.[1]

The Rangers promoted Gardewine to the major leagues for the first time on August 21, 2017.[6][7]
