The Story of the Autograph
Richard Bleier is a left-handed relief pitcher with the Baltimore Orioles. He’s been in the league since 2016 making some appearances with the Yankees that year and then with the Orioles ever since.
Bleier was born and raised in Florida and attended Florida Gulf Coast after being a All-Star baseball player in high school. In 2008 he was selected by the Rangers in the sixth round of the MLB Draft. He never made it to the majors and in 2015 signed with the Nationals. He made his debut with the Yankees on May 30th the following year. In February of 2017 the Yankees traded him to the Orioles.
He’s been a bright spot on the Orioles the last two years. He’s appeared in 111 games in his major league career and never broken a 2.00 ERA (1.97 for is career). He is most definitely NOT a strikeout pitcher. In fact, he has the lowest strikeout percentage (11%) of any pitcher with at least 100 IP in the last few years. He is famous for pitching to contact and inducing ground balls.
Last year he had some injuries that cut his season short in June after he had surgery.
The Score on Richard Bleier – 5.0
Richard doesn’t have a really complicated autograph but it’s pretty clear. He kind of focuses on “RBr”. This is the first return I’ve gotten from him and it looks like he also tries to find a good place to sign it. I sent this one out because I saw others having success from him. I think I’ve only ever seen him sign one, but I only had one to send.
Thanks Mr. Bleier! I’m giving this return a 5.
