Professional career
Komine spent the majority of his first pro years with the Double-A Midland RockHounds, having moderate success. An impressive run through July 2006 with Triple-A Sacramento earned him a call-up to the A's on July 26, replacing Sacramento teammate Jason Windsor.
On July 17, 2007, Komine got into a game in the 8th inning against the Texas Rangers with fellow Hawaiian Kurt Suzuki doing the catching. This marked the first time in Major League Baseball history that there was a battery where both the players were from Hawaii.
He is the 19th pitcher from Hawaii to have played in the major leagues and third player from Hawaii to play for the A's, after Ron Darling and Lenn Sakata. His teammate on the 2007 A's, Kurt Suzuki is also from Hawaii.
In 2009, Komine played for the independent Newark Bears.
