American pitcher Zach Robert Plesac, who plays for the Cleveland Guardians in Major League Baseball, was born on January 21, 1995. He debuted in MLB in 2019.
The Cleveland Indians chose Plesac in the 12th round (362nd overall) of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft. He signed on June 29, 2016, and received a $100,000 signing bonus, however, he did not play in 2016.
Plesac pitched to a combined 11-6 record with a 3.79 ERA in 26 total starts for the Class A-Advanced Lynchburg Hillcats and the Double-A Akron RubberDucks in 2018. To start off 2019, he went back to Akron, and in early May, he was promoted to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers.
Plesac played in eight games for the 2020 Cleveland Indians, recording a 4-2 record, a 2.28 ERA, and 57 strikeouts in 55+13 innings thrown. An MLB record was achieved in 2021 when the Indians were no-hit three times, with Plesac pitching the opposition in all three cases.
With a 10-6 record, a 4.67 ERA, and 100 strikeouts in 2021, Plesac achieved his first 10-win season. The Indians were the first team to go three games without being hit in a season when Plesac, in an odd coincidence, started the game on the other end of three no-hitters.
