Thomas Neal Thobe (born September 3, 1969) is an American former baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball for the Atlanta Braves.
Early life
[edit | edit source]Thobe was born on September 3, 1969, in Covington, Kentucky. His father, Jack Thobe, had played for the Akron Goodyear Wingfoots.[1][2]
Career
[edit | edit source]Thobe was drafted in the 38th round of the 1987 Major League Baseball draft by the Chicago Cubs out of Edison High School in Huntington Beach, California.[3] He was assigned to the Wytheville Cubs of the Appalachian League to begin his professional career in 1988.[4] After one year in Chicago's farm system, he quit baseball and returned home to Southern California where he entered the workforce. Four years later, as a favor to his mother, he attended a tryout with an Atlanta Braves scout and was signed to a minor league deal. He worked his way through their minor league system and made his Major League debut in 1995.[5]
