Nathan Patterson’s dream year continued in his debut for the Oakland Athletics organization last week.

Patterson, the fan who was signed after hitting 96 mph in a stadium radar gun booth, made his first appearance with the A’s in the Rookie-level Arizona League.

He struck out all three batters he faced.
