[edit] Professional career
[edit] Minor League career
Drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 20th round of the 2000 MLB amateur draft, Pignatiello would spend seven seasons in various ranks within the farm system before being promoted in 2007, his eighth season in professional baseball. In 2003, he led the Florida State League with a career-high 140 strikeouts in 156.1 innings for the Daytona Cubs[2].
[edit] Major League career
Pignatiello was called up by the Cubs on August 14, 2007, due to the need for left-handed relievers in the bullpen[1]. Two days later, he made his major league debut against the Cincinnati Reds and pitched one scoreless inning of relief of a 12-4 victory.[3]
