Cate pitched in college for the University of Connecticut Huskies. He was a second-round draft pick of the Washington Nationals in the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[1] CareerCate grew up in Connecticut and attended Howell Cheney Technical High School, where he was a pitcher and outfielder. Despite having a damaged ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow in his dominant left arm, Cate participated in a December 2013 showcase for the University of Connecticut as a junior and was invited to pitch for the program after high school. After undergoing Tommy John surgery, Cate elected not to take the 2014 spring season at Cheney Tech off, simply batting and throwing right-handed.[2] While at Connecticut, Cate pitched for USA Baseball's collegiate team in 2016 and 2017.[2] In 2018, his season was interrupted by discomfort in his left arm that led the Huskies to shut him down before he returned at the end of the spring.[1] Across three seasons as a Huskie, Cate pitched to a 2.99 ERA in 37 games, starting 32.[3] Originally projected to be drafted by a Major League Baseball team in the first round or toward the beginning of the second round of the 2018 draft as a college junior, Cate fell to 65th overall after the forearm injury.[1][4] The Washington Nationals, which drafted him, declared confidence in his health in spite of the time missed during Cate's season.[5] Cate told his hometown newspaper, the Journal Inquirer, that he was glad to be drafted by a National League team because he likes to hit (a reference to the American League's designated hitter rule).[4] He signed a professional contract with Washington on June 12, 2018,[6] for $986,200.[7] Cate made his professional debut with the Auburn Doubledays, the Nationals' Class A Short Season affiliate, on June 28, 2018.[8] He was promoted to the Class A Hagerstown Suns in August. In 13 games (12 starts) between the two clubs, Cate went 2-6 with a 5.02 ERA.[9] He returned to Hagerstown to begin the 2019 season.[10] Pitching styleThough his left hand is dominant, Cate has good enough control and strength in his right arm that his college coach at the University of Connecticut, Jim Penders, described him as "ambidextrous".[2] In his junior season at Connecticut in 2018, Cate threw a fastball topping out at {{convert|94|mph}}, along with a 12–6 curveball considered his best pitch and a less frequently used changeup.[11] Washington Nationals scouting director Kris Kline described his curveball as one of the best left-handed curves in the 2018 draft class.[5] At {{convert|6|ft}} tall, Cate is considered on the smaller side for a starting pitcher,[2][5] although his stature and repertoire have elicited comparisons to Nationals left-hander Gio González.[12][13] External links{{baseballstats|cube=202527}}References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://www.courant.com/sports/hc-sp-mlb-draft-cate-20180604-story.html|work=Hartford Courant|date=June 5, 2018|accessdate=June 9, 2018|title=UConn's Tim Cate Goes To The Nationals In 2nd Round Of MLB Draft|last=Amore|first=Dom}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Cate, Timothy}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|url=https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/cate-emerges-as-one-of-colleges-best-lefthanders/|work=Baseball America|title=Cate Emerges As One of College's Best Lefties|first=Michael|last=Lananna|date=February 9, 2018|accessdate=June 9, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|publisher=The Baseball Cube|title=Tim Cate|url=http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=202527|accessdate=June 9, 2018}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.journalinquirer.com/sports/cate-goes-national-manchester-lefty-taken-in-late-nd-round/article_957b9caa-68d2-11e8-999e-ffdb2b8ae888.html|work=Journal Inquirer|title=Cate goes National: Manchester lefty taken in late 2nd round by Washington|first=Sherman|last=Cain|date=June 5, 2018|accessdate=June 9, 2018}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=https://www.federalbaseball.com/2018/6/6/17431976/2018-mlb-draft-washington-nationals-2nd-round-pick-tim-cate-best-left-handed-curveball-in-draft|agency=Federal Baseball|title=2018 MLB Draft: Washington Nationals’ 2nd Round pick Tim Cate and the “best left-handed curveball in this draft...”|date=June 6, 2018|accessdate=June 6, 2018|first=Patrick|last=Reddington}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.talknats.com/2018/06/13/game-66-nationals-call-erick-fedde-yankee-stadium/|first=Steve|last=Mears|agency=TalkNats|date=June 13, 2018|accessdate=June 13, 2018|title=Game #66 Nationals call-up Erick Fedde to Yankee Stadium}} 7. ^https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/06/amateur-draft-signings-61318.html 8. ^{{cite news|url=https://auburnpub.com/sports/local/doubledays-rack-up-hits-blast-batavia-muckdogs-for-fourth-straight/article_66db4013-151b-53db-9d2d-6018446cb8f8.html|work=The Citizen|title=Doubledays rack up 17 hits, blast Batavia Muckdogs for fourth straight win|date=June 28, 2018|accessdate=June 29, 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=669420#/career/R/pitching/2018/ALL|title=Tim Cate Stats, Highlights, Bio - MiLB.com Stats - The Official Site of Minor League Baseball|publisher=MiLB.com|accessdate=December 27, 2018}} 10. ^http://www.masnsports.com/byron-kerr/2019/04/2019-nationals-minor-league-rosters-announced.html 11. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/tim-cate-leads-top-mlb-draft-prospects-from-connecticut/|work=Baseball America|title=Tim Cate Leads Top MLB Draft Prospects From Connecticut|date=June 4, 2018|accessdate=June 9, 2018}} 12. ^{{cite news|url=https://districtondeck.com/2018/06/05/washington-nationals-nail-mason-denaburg-tim-cate-picks/|agency=District on Deck|title=Washington Nationals nail Mason Denaburg and Tim Cate picks|date=June 5, 2018|accessdate=June 9, 2018|first=Blake|last=Finney}} 13. ^{{cite news|url=https://royalsfarmreport.com/2018/01/01/2018-mlb-draft-target-tim-cate-lhp-uconn/|agency=Royals Farm Report|title=2018 MLB Draft Target: Tim Cate, LHP, Connecticut|first=Alex|last=Duvall|date=January 1, 2018|accessdate=June 9, 2018}} 6 : 1997 births|Living people|People from Manchester, Connecticut|Baseball pitchers|Baseball players from Connecticut|Connecticut Huskies baseball players |
