“Name the former Huskers left-handed pitcher who became the 38th Nebraska baseball player to reach the Major Leagues when he was called up by the New York Mets late in the 2022 season.”
=================================
Answer:
Nate Fisher
Fisher, who initially joined the Husker baseball program as a walk-on, went undrafted in the 2019 MLB draft. He was picked up by the Seattle Mariners in 2019 on a minor league contract, was released in March 2020 and did not play baseball that year but was picked up by the Mariners again in 2021 on a minor-league deal.
After the 2021 season, Fisher was picked up by the New York Mets on a minor league deal for the 2022 season. Eventually, Fisher finally made his MLB debut on August 21, 2022 by pitching three scoreless innings (innings 5-7) with one hit allowed, two walks and one strikeout to help the Mets earn a 10-9 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. (He entered in the 5th inning with the Phillies leading 7-4 and exited after the 7th inning having preserved a 7-7 tie.)
He struck out Nick Maton looking in the final pitches of his one-game MLB career. He was DFA’d the very next day (Aug. 22, 2022) by the Mets and eventually signed a minor-league deal with the Chicago White Sox in November 2022 but never pitched in the majors again.
