[edit] Early life
Resop graduated from Barron G. Collier High School in 2001.[1]
[edit] Professional career
[edit] Florida Marlins
Resop was drafted by the Florida Marlins in the 4th round of the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft.
In 2005, Resop made his major league debut. He continued to play for the Marlins in 2006 until he was traded to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for Kevin Gregg.
[edit] Atlanta Braves
Resop was claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves on October 25, 2007.
In an extra-inning game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 3, 2008, Resop pitched a third of an inning and allowed two walks in the top of the 10th inning. Manager Bobby Cox then brought in left-handed pitcher Royce Ring to face left-handed batter Adam LaRoche and substituted Resop for Matt Diaz in left field. After Ring struck out LaRoche, Gregor Blanco came in to play left and Resop returned to the mound in place of Ring. He subsequently allowed an RBI single to Xavier Nady and earned the loss as the Pirates won 4-3.
On May 28, Resop was designated for assignment by the Braves. He was later assigned to the Richmond Braves of the International League. On July 7, the Braves sold Resop's contract to the Hanshin Tigers of the Japanese Central League.[2]
Resop resigned with the Braves prior to the 2010 season.[3]
He was called up on June 15, 2010, after 13 starts in Triple A. In 73.1 innings, he recorded a 1.84 ERA while allowing 46 hits, 27 walks, and striking out 81 batters. He held batters to a .183 average.
On August 4, 2010, Resop was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
