Just Like The Babe?

This Micah Owings guy is the real deal. Just when matters looked bleakest on for the Diamondbacks against the Astros, their savvy-hitting, right-handed pitcher was plucked off the bench again by manager Bob Melvin to pinch-hit with two out in the sixth inning, a runner on second and his club down by two runs.
Owings homered for the fifth time in 79 big league at-bats, but for the first time as a pinch-hitter, nailing the first offering from reliever Dave Borkowski over the right-field fence to tie the score and help send the D-backs on to a come-from-behind 8-7 victory. This guy is a great hitting pitcher and this is similar to how Babe Ruth started his career. He was an acceptional pitcher but his bat was so great they moved him to the outfield. I do not believe Owings will be moved but he fun to watch and it will be interesting on what they do with him.
