We couldn’t not talk more about Shane Bieber after this performance on the Opening Day of 2020. In a double-header on this day of 2017, Bieber pitched 6.2 shutout innings allowing with five hits, one walk and struck out five.

Current Indians reliever, making his debut in 2020, Cam Hill backed up Bieber with 2.1 innings pitched of perfect relief with one strikeout.

2018

In continuing talking about the current Indians rotation, Zach Plesac authored a stellar performance on this day in 2018 for the Lynchburg Hillcats, and then made his MLB debut less than a year later from this game.

Plesac struck out 10 in seven innings pitched with six hits allowed and a run.

Jared Robinson got a pair of outs behind him and James Karinchak, who also made his debut a little over a year later from this game, walked two and struck out three in 1.1 innings of work. A fairly normal Karinchak line.

2018, Pt. II

While not making his major league debut yet, but on the 40 man roster, on this date in 2018 Jean Carlos Mejia stuck out 10 in seven innings with just three hits and a walk allowed.

Two other prospective relievers for the 2020 season, Kyle Nelson and Nick Sandlin, combined for two scoreless innings behind him.

The Captains scored their only run in this 1-0 win over Western Michigan on a passed ball.
