    Mark Hendrickson’s amazing sports career will continue in Baltimore for the 2010 season. The 6-foot-9 lefty has signed a .4 million deal with the Orioles and will likely be used in the team’s bullpen.

    With the Orioles last season, Henderickson was both a starter and a reliever. As a starter, he struggled on his way to a 2-5 record with a 5.40 ERA. But as a reliever, he was much better — finishing with a 4-0 record and a 3.44 ERA.

    The 35-year-old has also played for the Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, Los Angeles Dodgers and Florida Marlins. However, Hendrickson is perhaps best known for being a two-sport star. Prior to beginning his MLB career, he played in the NBA. Before switching to baseball, he played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Sacramento Kings, New Jersey Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers.

    Though he has been a starter for most of his career, many scouts think that Hendrickson can extend his career if he decides to be a relief pitcher. Since this will likely be his first season as a full-time reliever, it’ll be interesting to see how he handles the transition.
