Zach McCambley Selected by Phillies in Rule 5 Draft

Baseball UPa Alum and Pocono Mt East '17 grad, has been selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the MLB Rule 5 Draft.  the Phillies selected right-handed pitcher Zach McCambley in the Rule 5 draft.

McCambley, 26, was in the Miami Marlins organization, and had a 2.90 ERA and 1.097 WHIP in 62 innings between double A and triple A. According to draft regulations, McCambley was assigned directly to the Phillies’ 26-man roster.

“When we drafted him, we had the feeling that he could make the team,” Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said. “And one of the things that we’ve talked about looking to have over the last few years is a right-handed person in the bullpen that dominates right-handed hitters. So we think he has a chance to do that.”
