I was able to get this autograph while Sean Doolittle was pitching for the University of Virginia. He would be drafted the next season, by the Oakland Athletics, with the 41st overall pick.
Doolittle has gone on to have a fantastic career. Over the last 11 seasons, he has been one of the more dependable pen arms in baseball, averaging 66 IP a season, and carries a career 131 ERA+. He has two All-Star selections under his belt (2014 and 2018), and in 2019 won the World Series with the Nationals.
