Bibens-Dirkx has been pitching for over ten years. He’s played minor-league baseball for five different baseball organizations but was never given a chance to play on their main roster. The Texas Rangers signed him to a minor league contract and assigned him to AAA Round Rock.
About a month in the season, Bibens-Dirkx was called up to the majors for the first time in his career. The 32-year-old rookie made his major league debut on May 17th against the Philadelphia Phillies, pitching one full inning, allowing one hit, one run, and striking out one batter. He earned his first major league victory against the New York Mets on June 6th.
