Every time CC Sabathia steps on the mound he brings the heart of a champion to go along with his flame throwing left arm. Standing at 6’7” with his trademark hat cocked slightly to the side, CC's imposing presence on the mound belies a gentle family oriented man off it.
Throughout his career, CC Sabathia has been active with numerous community-focused off-the-field activities and non profit programs. His time in Cleveland saw him donate to the Larry Doby RBI Program via a yearly contribution to Cleveland Indians Charities, provide Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to those in need, and work with the YMCA’s of Cleveland and his home town of Vallejo. He also participates in Strikeouts For Troops to assist wounded war heroes and their families and recently introduced his own non profit foundation, “PitCCh In” designed to help kids in need through various community outreach programs.
On the field, CC's career has been a model of consistency. For the past five seasons, he has improved his ERA and strikeouts from year to year. His evolution as a pitcher is not yet complete but he took a major step last year when after an in-season trade to the pitching-depleted Milwaukee Brewers, he helped carry them to their first post-season appearance in 26 years.
However, for the new Ace of the most storied franchise in baseball history, the New York Yankees, it all started on the West Coast in Vallejo, California where he was a three-sport athlete – football, basketball and baseball. As a student athlete, CC clearly demonstrated his ability on the baseball diamond but in addition to that, scouts were equally enamored with what he could do on the gridiron where he was an all-conference Tight End. In fact, he actually had a signed letter of intent with the University of Hawaii to play football before being selected as the 20th overall pick in the 1998 Amateur Draft.
After being drafted, CC blew through the minor league competition he faced as an Indians farmhand. It didn’t take long for the higher ups in Cleveland to recognize what they had in their young pitcher before they gave him the call to the “show.” In 2001, barely 20 years old, he burst onto the Major League scene as the league’s then youngest player and promptly won 17 games while also amassing an impressive 171 strikeouts. His success as a rookie was instrumental in helping the Indians reach the American League Division Series where CC won the only game he pitched. There was no doubt at the end of that season – Sabathia was here to stay. His mature performance and great success was recognized by baseball experts as he finished 2nd in the American Rookie of the Year voting to the Seattle Mariners’ Japanese import, future hall-of-famer Ichiro Suzuki.
Over the next five seasons, CC was selected to the All Star team twice and put up double-digit wins and strong strikeout totals in each of those seasons.
Despite already being a two-time All-Star, Sabathia’s real breakthrough season came in 2006 in which he recorded a career low 3.22 ERA which was good for 3rd in the American League. Most notably, he cut his walk totals by more than 20 from the previous year and by more than 50 compared with his rookie year. With fewer baserunners reaching, Sabathia thrived and was able to stay as aggressive as ever on the mound. He delivered more complete games than any other pitcher in the American League, a testament to his ability to stay strong deep into games when his team needed him. With his electric stuff, the Majors took notice in 2006 that he wasn’t just a heat-throwing up and comer anymore but that he was a complete pitcher, more dangerous than ever.
Since his first pitch thrown in 2000 as a 20 year old on a 92 win team, Sabathia has shown steady improvement. And since the first pitch of the 2007 season, Sabathia has been among the top across all the major pitching leader boards. The 2007 season saw him once again improve his walk rate while also improving his ERA. With more run support than he’d had in previous years, he was able to deliver in the win column and set his career high with 19 wins. Baseball acknowledged his growth and success as he won the American League Cy Young award and was named the Sporting News’ Pitcher of the Year.
In 2008, baseball saw yet another milestone in CC’s career as he set personal marks for strikeouts, ERA, innings pitched, complete games and shutouts. In an in-season trade that shifted the balance of power in the National League, Sabathia pitched 17 games for the Milwaukee Brewers, leading them to the playoffs and pitching a remarkable 7 complete games! Sabathia’s heroics didn’t fail to garner attention where, despite only being in the National League for half a season, he still finished fifth in the National League MVP voting.
While the fans CC has touched throughout his career in Cleveland, Milwaukee and now New York, have been thrilled to see the gentle giant fulfilling his immense promise as a frontline starter on contending teams, there can be no fan happier than his mom, Margie Sabathia.
At an early age, she instilled the importance of family into CC. With a strong base and belief in yourself, CC knew he could accomplish anything. “Be confident” she always told him “but be humble too.” CC knows he’s blessed to have a mother who understands sports and was able to help him understand to appreciate the game, fulfill his God-given ability and above all, to display good sportsmanship.
“We talk about everything,” Sabathia says. “She understands the game big-time. I’ve been able to talk about sports with her – all sports – since I was 12.”
When he steps out on the mound, the lessons she taught him as a child ring loudly in his head. What will his legacy be not just on the field? How can he have an impact on people’s lives? That’s the importance of displaying good sportsmanship. It might be tough when you have the talent Sabathia has and the success he has experienced at such a young age but “she always made sure I was humble and appreciated the game.”
His wife, Amber now helps to keep CC happy, healthy and focused. Amber and CC are the American Dream – high school sweethearts who remain happily married to this day. She shares in all his successes and helps him the through the highs and lows of the grind of a 162 game season which will, hopefully last deep into October for many seasons to come.
Now the fans of New York can appreciate the man and the player Sabathia has become and make it an even bigger family. As CC lives his dream as a professional athlete, he looks forward to passing on the lessons he’s learned both on and off the field to his own family including his three wonderful children, CC, Jaden and new baby Cyia Cathleen.
When all is said and done, there’s no reason not to believe that CC can continue to pile up the wins in front of the amazing fans in the Bronx, in front of one of the most feared lineups in baseball. Sabathia has helped spearhead the resurgence of some great baseball cities. CC knows what’s at stake for New York and the entire Yankees’ organization and yearns to be a part of a championship team. So he puts every bit of his 6’7”, 290 pound frame into every pitch that he throws.
