Biographical Information

Pitcher Austin Kitchen was originally signed by the Colorado Rockies organization as an amateur free agent on April 20, 2021.

The day following THAT (June 24th), he was claimed on waivers by the Miami Marlins, who assigned him to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.

He was sent back to AAA Jacksonville on August 7th, and designated for assignment exactly a month later, on September 7th.
