At triple-A Reno, outfielder Mitch Haniger of the Arizona Diamondbacks experienced a career defining year.
Not many decision-makers in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization, other than Kyle Jensen, seem to deserve a call-up to the show more than Haniger.
For all the right reasons, the 25-year-old was promoted to the majors on August 16, and off to an impressive start.
With his parents in attendance on August 17, Haniger, a native of Santa Clara Calif. became the first player in franchise history to record a triple for his first career hit. Haniger later added a double, and his three RBI tied the franchise mark for a debut.
