Evan David Meek (born May 12, 1983 in Template:City-state) is a relief pitcher in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization of Major League Baseball.
Early career
Meek attended Inglemoor High School in Template:City-state. Afterwards he played for Midland College in Midland, Texas. Then he transferred at semester to play at Bellevue Community College also in Washington.[1]
Minor leagues
After being select by the Minnesota Twins in the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft Meek began playing for the Twins affiliate in the Appalachian League. After three years in the Twins organization Meek spent the next two seasons playing for the minor league teams of the San Diego Padres and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.[2] In the 2007 Rule 5 Draft Meek was selected away from the Devil Rays by the Pittsburgh Pirates. This required that Meek remain on the active roster of the Pirates for the entire 2008 season or else the Pirates would have had to offer him back to the Devil Rays for half the amount they paid to acquire him.[3]
2008
Meek made his major league debut on April 2, 2008 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He would record his first career loss in extra innings against the Chicago Cubs on April 7, 2008. Meek made nine relief appearances, going 0-1 with a 6.92 ERA, before being designated for assignment on May 4, 2008. He was offered back per Rule V guidelines on May 14. The Pirates paid cash to keep him and sent him down to their minor league teams.
After pitching 9 games with the Curve, Meek was promoted to the Indianapolis Indians.
