Throop, who was originally up for his first taste of the Big Leagues in 1975, appeared in one game during the 1978 season, pitching three innings of scoreless ball and ending up with the win.
He’d end up playing only one more year in the Majors, splitting the 1979 season between the Royals and Houston Astros, going 1-0 once again, with a 4.32 ERA over 18 appearances and 25 innings pitched.
But it seems like his professional career ended there, without even any Minor League games played after that 1979 season, finishing with a career 2-0 record along with an ERA at 3.83 over 30 appearances and 42.1 innings of work.
