He started with the Sacramento River Cats and then landed his first MLB job with the Florida Marlins. His second team was the Cincinnati Reds before landing in his current destination with the Oakland A"s. So what does the life of a bullpen catcher in the MLB look like? Let"s find out together HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Dustin Hughes|  "I am fascinated by this life that Dustin lives. We often think about the players who are on the field, but don"t realize there are so many people like Dustin who are critical to the player"s success behind the scenes." Our Connection |  Credit goes to my son Max who told me one day that a father at Sacred Heart School in East Sacramento (where Max works) was the bullpen catcher for the Oakland A"s. I am now a part of the Sacred Heart community for one year as the P.E. Teacher and Athletic Director. So it was a no-brainer that I make the connection with Dustin and get him on the podcast to talk about my favorite sport!
