BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The newest member of the Chicago Cubs is also an Indiana Hoosier, as Scott Effross made his Major League Baseball debut on Sunday (August 29), just one day after the club called up the right-handed reliever.
The Twinsburg, Ohio, native is the 33rd Hoosier to reach MLB in program history and Effross has spent his entire six-year professional career with the Cubs organization after being picked in the 15th round by the club in 2015. He is the fifth student-athlete from the 2013 College World Series team to make it to the major league level.
