SAN FRANCISCO – Two days after Nick Senzel made his Major League debut, he had an emotional phone call celebrating the debut of his “best friend in baseball.”

Senzel and Josh VanMeter were roommates at Triple-A Louisville and they made their big-league debuts in the same weekend. In 2017, they played together at Double-A Pensacola and their on-field friendship only grew from there.

“It was very emotional because I know he’s worked really hard to get to this point,” Senzel said of VanMeter.
