2008-08-16 A's Game RP Dan Meyer

Daniel Livingston Meyer (born July 3, 1981 in Woodbury, New Jersey) is a left-handed Major League Baseball starting pitcher in the Oakland Athletics organization.

Meyer played high school baseball at Kingsway Regional High School in Swedesboro, New Jersey.
A touted prospect out of James Madison University, Meyer helped his team to the college playoffs in 2002 after going 9-2 with a 3.15 ERA and posting 90 strikeouts in 97 innings. Meyer was then drafted in the first round (34th overall) in the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft by the Atlanta Braves. Meyer quickly rose through the Braves system as he pitched in Single-A in 2003 and split the 2004 season in Double-A and Triple-A. He went 6-3 with a 2.22 ERA and struck out batters 11.91 times per 9 innings in Double-A earning him a callup to Triple-A. His 2.70 ERA in 11 starts in Triple-A earned him a September callup that 2004 season for the Braves.

Meyer pitched 2 games in 2004 as a September call up for the Braves. During the off-season, Meyer was involved in the big trade with the Oakland Athletics for ace Tim Hudson that had also sent pitcher Juan Cruz and outfielder Charles Thomas to the Athletics.
