Oakland Athletics closer Andrew Bailey prides himself on having deep roots in ...
NEW YORK — Andrew Bailey can easily recite the New Jersey-bred players wearing major-league uniforms.
New Jersey roots are a point of pride for Bailey, a Haddon Township native who attended Paul VI High School. But even Bailey, the Oakland Athletics closer who is a two-time All-Star, will concede bewilderment in the lack of his New Jersey brethren throughout the major leagues.
There are 17 New Jersey-born players who have played in the majors this season, although that total includes players such as Derek Jeter and Jason Heyward, who were born locally but raised elsewhere. It does not include players such as A’s outfielder David DeJesus , a Brooklyn native who attended Manalapan High School and Rutgers.
“Everybody was worried about going down the Shore,” Bailey joked earlier this month when the A’s visited the Mets, remarking that New Jersey wasn’t a hotbed for baseball.
DeJesus attributed the shortage to the heavy football influence in North Jersey. He said baseball is more popular in South Jersey, which Bailey emphasized when discussing the influence his Haddon Heights Legion team had on his development.
“Baseball’s always been big in South Jersey,” Bailey said. “Haddon Heights Legion, that was always the goal, 12, 13, 14 years old, that’s who you wanted to play for.”
Bailey returned to the East Coast this weekend with the A’s visiting the Yankees. Although the A’s are among the worst teams in the American League and an early-season injury prevented Bailey from appearing in his third consecutive All-Star Game, he’s quietly producing another strong season.
He recorded his 11th save Sunday and has 2.37 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 19 innings.He recorded a 2.00 ERA in sub-two of his first two seasons and has become one of the best in baseball farm.
His season was recorded in March when the right-hander James Andrews visited - an ominous sign for any pitcher - after suffering an arm injury while pitching into the seventh inning of a spring training game. The wound was even more frightening considering the injury history of Bailey, which includes Tommy John surgery in 2005 and surgery last offseason cleaning.
But the news was positive Andrews - or as positive as could be - and Bailey only had a strained forearm. He returned May 29 and allowed only five earned runs in 19 appearances. He said last month that his injury was behind him and warned against all fear to suffer another setback.
