MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — The 162-game Major League Baseball regular season came to an end Sunday, officially concluding the professional baseball season for 12 Central Michigan alumni playing in the professional ranks

Josh Collmenter, a right-handed pitcher who played for CMU from 2005-07, just finished his sixth season in the majors. He was released by the Arizona Diamondbacks in early August, signed with the Chicago Cubs, and was sent to the Atlanta Braves for cash on Sept. 15.

He finished the season a 3-0 with a 3.70 ERA and 33 strikeouts, pitching primarily out of the bullpen for the Braves

Collmenter, who has spent the majority of a career as a starter for the Diamondbacks, was Arizona’s opening day starter in 2015.
