Former MSU pitcher Anthony Misiewicz claimed by New York Yankees

A former Spartan will now be wearing the New York Yankees iconic pinstripes:

Former Michigan State pitcher Anthony Misiewicz has carved out a very nice MLB career for himself as a left handed relief pitcher. He has spent the past four seasons pitching for the Seattle Mariners, Kansas City Royals, Arizona Diamondbacks and Detroit Tigers. He has pitched in 127 games over those seasons.

After battling some injury problems in Arizona this season, the Diamondbacks designated Misiewicz for assignment, and the Tigers jumped on the opportunity to get the lefty from Anchor Bay.

Now, after just one appearance in Detroit, the Tigers have moved on and a new team has claimed the former Spartan. Misiewicz will be headed to New York to wear the iconic pinstripes for the Yankees.

Michigan State baseball alum Anthony Misiewicz gets first MLB win

Michigan State baseball alumni Anthony Misiewicz got his first career MLB win with the Seattle Mariners on opening day.

[jwplayer NIG71kHM-PROpJzTY]

Anthony Misiewicz was a standout pitcher during his time in East Lansing. After 3 seasons with the Spartans, Misiewicz was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 2015 MLB June Amateur Draft.

The lefty pitcher spent his 4 years in the minor leagues as a starting pitcher, making his way through the ranks. Misiewicz got his crack at the majors when he was called up during the 2020 season as a reliever.

After appearing in 21 games during the 2020 season, Misiewicz took that momentum into the 2021 season, making the big league roster out of spring training.

Yesterday on opening day for the Mariners, Misiewicz threw a perfect inning to get the win, the first of his major league career.

Misiewicz is the only active MSU alum in the MLB.
