Mark Appel reaches the Major Leagues

[Streak One]

Nine years after signing out of Stanford, Mark Appel has reached the Major Leagues after getting called up by the Phillies over the weekend. A really great story of perseverance.

Great to hear. I thought he’d retired a couple of years ago.

I believe he did and then got back into pro ball.

Threw almost exclusively 2-seamers in the mid to high 90s in his MLB debut tonight! In the right situation, he could carve a career as a decent reliever.
