Owings, 32-33 with a 4.86 ERA in 138 games over six seasons, has a career batting average of .286 with nine homers and 35 RBIs in 205 at-bats. He has been used numerous times as a pinch hitter.

Black said Owings injury, which moved him from the 15-day DL to the 60-DL on May 8, has taken longer than expected to heal. Owings said he doesn’t feel like he will be able to pitch any time soon.

“He indicated a strong desire to get back on the field and hit,” Black said. “He’s highly motivated to do this.”

@acomak: Micah Owings was granted his release from the #nats. Had been transitioning to full-time position player w Triple-A.

Interesting, I wonder what he's planning on doing now...

@BrewersPD: The #Brewers have signed RHP/OF Micah Owings to a minor league contract. He will report to our complex in Maryvale

What he did know is that he wanted to give the Majors another try. The last pitch he threw in a big league uniform came with the Padres on April 25, 2012. Almost five years later, he's back in Spring Training, giving it his all. So far this spring, he has a 4.15 ERA in four outings."I love the game, and I love to compete," Owings said. "That's why I was willing to go to York. I wasn't doing it for financial reasons, obviously. Just anything but to go out and compete. It's why I've always enjoyed playing the game."

Like to proudly announce that at the ripe age of 36, I’m officially a college student again. On a mission to receive my BA or BS from The College of Arts and Sciences, The University of Alabama. It’s been over fourteen years since my last college class. At age 22, prior to signing w/the DBacks I made an agreement with my father & mother that I would complete my education and earn a college degree. I am a man of my word, that’s how I’ve been raised. Huge thanks to Nick Hostetler for informing me about this program that accepted almost ALL of my prior credits. Also like to thank the Georgia Institute of Technology, Tulane University, and now the University of Alabama for my continued education. Haven’t decided yet if I’ll be saying “Roll Tide” hah #GoJackets #RollWave #RollTide
