Former Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Scott Sauerbeck died, the team announced on Thursday. He was 53.
While the team did not provide details on Sauerbeck's passing, Pittsburgh Baseball Now said he suffered a fatal heart attack in his Florida home on Tuesday.
'The Pirates family mourns the passing of Scott Sauerbeck,' the team wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'Scott played for the Bucs from 1999-2003 and shares the club record for most games pitched by a LHP in one season. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.'
Sauerbeck was selected by the New York Mets in the 23rd round of the 1994 MLB amateur draft from Miami (Ohio). He made his debut five years later with the Pirates, with whom he posted a 19-15 record with five saves and a 3.56 ERA in 341 career games.
Sauerbeck was traded to the Boston Red Sox during the 2003 season before continuing his career with the Cleveland franchise (2005-06) and Oakland Athletics (2016). He was 20-17 with five saves and a 3.82 ERA in 471 career relief appearances.
