I have no idea who Connor Grey<\/strong> is.<\/p>\n

\"\"My trusty assistant Google then revealed: Frewsberg Native Connor Grey Called Up to the New York Mets<\/strong>, only then I didn’t know where Frewsberg was and had to look THAT up. It’s way out in Western New York; the nearest big city is Erie, Pa. The article<\/a> was actually quite informative and kudos to author Matt Spielman on a nice piece of small-paper breaking news journalism. Here’s the nut graf.<\/p>\n

Grey, who was issued uniform No. 72 by the Mets, was drafted in the 20th round, 599th overall, by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2016 MLB draft after a four-year career at St. Bonaventure University. In six seasons in the minor leagues, he went 34-27 with a 4.24 ERA and 461 strikeouts in 516 innings pitched. If he appears in a game, Grey would become the 11th Bonnies alum to appear in the majors and first since Danny McDevitt, who played for the Kansas City A\u2019s in 1962.<\/p>\n

New York thought highly enough of Grey to grant him one of their eight coveted spots in the Arizona Fall League where he went 1-2 in six appearances, including three starts, for the Salt River Rafters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Grey is definitely a Schwinden<\/a> and could see action tonight especially in Taijuan Walker<\/strong>‘s recent back spasms necessitate long relief. He’d be the first 72 since Jake Reed<\/strong> was lost in a DFA move to Los Angeles in July, and the 7th 72 overall. The first, Carlos Torres<\/strong>, made my day when he “liked” my Tweet back in 2015. (Phillip Evans<\/strong> now holds the title with 10 hits).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Grey’s ascension came as the Mets activated Tomas Nido<\/strong> from the COVID list and DFA’ed fellow Schwindens Rob Zastryzny<\/strong> and Nate Fisher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s try not to linger on that disappointing loss to the Yankees last night. Mets were flat.<\/p>\n
