Pat Dean, a left-handed pitcher drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2010, had a notable but short-lived MLB career in 2016. He made his debut that season following a strong performance in the minors, including a standout game against Felix Hernandez. Despite a rough overall record with a 6.28 ERA in 2016, Dean's brief success offered hope during a difficult season for the Twins.
