Jake Diekman, a veteran left-hander, has joined the Lincoln Saltdogs in the independent American Association, marking a significant homecoming for the Nebraska native. Diekman expressed excitement about pitching in front of family and friends, and he sees the opportunity to share his experience with younger players on the team. After a solid career in Major League Baseball, he faced challenges recently, including a high ERA and releases from affiliated teams, leading him to play closer to home. The Saltdogs' season begins on May 9th, 2024.
"Pitch in front of my family, my friends, people who haven't really watched me pitch in a while, yeah, it'll be fun."
