About Dave Tomlin
Tomlin pitched in 76 games for San Diego in 1977 and logged 101 2/3 innings, all of them in relief, striking out 55 batters. He went 4-4 with a 3.01 ERA and three saves. Topps listed him with the Padres on card #241.
Dave Tomlin was a left-handed reliever who pitched 13 major league seasons between 1972 and 1986 for the Cincinnati Reds, San Diego Padres, Montreal Expos and Pittsburgh Pirates. Born in Maysville, Kentucky, and a graduate of West Union High School in Ohio, he was drafted by the Reds in the 29th round in 1967. After 19 games for Cincinnati over 1972 and 1973, he went to San Diego in a trade that sent Bobby Tolan with him and brought Clay Kirby to the Reds. He pitched regularly for the Padres from 1974 to 1977, and his two best seasons by WAR were 1977 and 1978. He returned to Cincinnati for 1978-80. In the postseason he appeared in four National League Championship Series games, one in 1973 and three in 1979. He finished with a 25-12 record, a 3.82 ERA and 12 saves. After playing he coached pitchers in the Expos and Braves systems, joined the Boston Red Sox organization in 1998, and managed the Rookie-level Gulf Coast Red Sox from 2006 to 2010.
