Jesuit Alum Mick Abel Ties Phillies’ Franchise Record in ‘Surreal’ MLB Debut

Mick Abel, a 23-year-old right-handed pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, pitched six scoreless innings with nine strikeouts in his MLB debut on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Philadelphia.
Abel was called up to replace injured starter Aaron Nola after showing improvement in Triple-A Lehigh Valley, where he posted a 2.53 ERA in eight starts over 46 innings.
Abel struck out nine batters, surrendered five hits, and walked none, tying Curt Simmons' 1947 Phillies debut record for strikeouts and marking the most by a Phillies rookie since Cole Hamels in 2006.
Phillies manager Clint Hurdle praised Abel's performance, saying he was “very, very impressive,” and Abel reflected on his transformation, saying, “this has been my dream since I was little.”
Although Abel earned a 1-0 victory, the Phillies are expected to demote him again soon amid roster moves including activating veteran reliever José Ruiz and José Alvarado's suspension for PED use.
