Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox baseball biography Craig Allen Dingman (born March 12, 1974) is a former relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. He batted and threw right-handed.

College career

Dingman attended Hutchinson Community College in Kansas.

Professional career

He was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 36th round of the Шаблон:Mlby Major League Baseball draft and made his debut on June 30, Шаблон:Mlby. On March 30, Шаблон:Mlby, he was traded to the Colorado Rockies for Jorge DePaula. From Шаблон:Mlby-Шаблон:Mlby, Dingman played in the Reds, Yankees, and Cubs organizations, and in Mexico.

Dingman signed with the Detroit Tigers organization as a minor league free agent before the start of the Шаблон:Mlby season. He earned a place in their bullpen that year, then took a large step forward in Шаблон:Mlby, finishing with a 2–3 record and a 3.66 Earned run average.

While playing catch with a teammate on February 4, Шаблон:Mlby, however, his throwing hand spontaneously became pale and his arm lost all circulation from the elbow down. After being placed on blood-thinning medication, he was diagnosed with a torn artery in his right shoulder, which led to arterial bypass surgery later that month. The operation removed an artery from his right and transplanted it into the injured shoulder, re-routing blood around the damaged vessel. It was the first procedure of its kind in the history of Major League Baseball.

He returned to the Detroit Tigers in early 2007 for testing on his throwing arm but suffered a blood clot and fatigue in his shoulder. He was released by the Tigers resulting in his final game being prior to his injury on 28 September 2005.
