Baseball career

Combs was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the first round (11th overall) of the 1988 Major League Baseball draft. He had one "golden" season — that being his first professional year. In 1989, Combs had reached every level of professional baseball, from A-ball to the big leagues. For the Class A Clearwater Phillies, he went 2-1 with a 1.30 earned run average (ERA) in 6 games. For the Double-A Reading Phillies, Combs went 8-7 with a very respectable 3.38 ERA in 19 games. For the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons, he went 3-0 with a 0.37 ERA. Continuing with the Phillies, Combs went 4-0 with a 2.09 ERA in 6 games. Taking his success into consideration, the next year the Phillies placed Combs in the starting rotation. However, he was not able to maintain his streak. Combs went 10-10 with 4.07 ERA, with 86 walks and only 108 strikeouts. His performance continued to deteriorate, as Combs‘ ERA jumped to 7.71, in his final MLB season.

Two times in Combs‘ major league career, his walks yielded exceeded his strikeouts posted: In 1991, Combs walked 43 and struck out 41; in 1992 he walked 12 and struck out 11.

After baseball

Currently, Combs resides in Richmond, Texas (near Houston), and works as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley.[1]

gollark: I forgot the exact ordering, but 2 is on my disk somewhere, 3 and 4 are very similar and also there, and 5 is on my disk somewhere.
