This year is Paterson’s third season in the D-backs’ organization, after spending 4 seasons in the Giants’ farm system (2007–10). In 2011, Paterson established an Arizona club record with 19 consecutive scoreless outings (10.0 IP) to begin his career.
Last season, Paterson spent the majority of the season with Reno, going 2–2 with 2 saves and a 4.15 ERA (20 ER in 43.1 IP) in 48 games. He also appeared in 6 games with the D-backs. In 2011, he went 0–3 with a 2.91 ERA (11 ER in 34.0 IP) and 1 save in 62 relief appearances with Arizona, and became the first Rule 5 selection to make the D-backs’ Opening Day roster.
Paterson looks to have a successful season in Triple-A Reno this year, and everyone within the Aces family wishes him a very happy 27th birthday!
