Biographical Information

Pitcher Zack Littell was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 11th round of the 2013 amateur draft. He spent his first four professional seasons in the Mariners' organization, his best year coming in 2016 when he was a combined 13-6, 2.66 between the Clinton LumberKings and the Bakersfield Blaze. On November 18, 2016, he was traded to the New York Yankees in return for P James Pazos.

His 2017 season was absolutely outstanding, as he finished with a record of 19-1, 2.12 while pitching for three different teams. He started off by going 9-1, 1.77 in 13 games for the Tampa Yankees. He then was promoted to the Trenton Thunder of the AA Eastern League, where he went 5-0, 2.05 in 7 games.

In 2018, he started the year Back with Chattanooga, where he was 0-3, 5.87. Part of this may have been deception at returning to a level he had clearly mastered the previous year. On May 4th, he was brought up to the AAA Rochester Red Wings. He was 1-1, 2.57 in 5 games and on June 5th was promoted again, this time to the major league Twins who needed an extra pitcher for a doubleheader.
