My Take

A Harvard graduate who reached the major leagues is rare enough to make me pay attention. Anderson never came up through the usual baseball-factory pipeline; he balanced an Ivy League education with a pitching career, which tells me a lot about his discipline. Born in Boynton Beach, he took the mound for the Pirates and Athletics, then kept going overseas with Taiwan's Fubon Guardians. I love players who refuse to be defined by a label and chase the game wherever it leads. Declining to coast on the Harvard name and flying to Taiwan to keep throwing shows a hunger I find easy to root for.

Overview

Tanner Ackley Anderson (born May 27, 1993) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Oakland Athletics, and in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the Fubon Guardians.
