Zach Robert Plesac (born January 21, 1995) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2019.
Plesac was selected in the 12th round (362nd overall) of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft by the Cleveland Indians and signed on June 29, 2016, for a $100,000 signing bonus, but did not play in 2016.
He began his professional career in 2017 with the Class A Short Season Mahoning Valley Scrappers, and after posting a 1.38 ERA in eight games (seven starts), was promoted to the Class A Lake County Captains where he finished the season, posting a 1–1 record with a 3.60 ERA in six starts.
In 2018, Plesac played for both the Class A-Advanced Lynchburg Hillcats and the Double-A Akron RubberDucks, pitching to a combined 11–6 record with a 3.79 ERA in 26 total starts between both teams. He returned to Akron to begin 2019 and was promoted to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers in early May.
With the 2020 Cleveland Indians, Plesac appeared in eight games, compiling a 4–2 record with 2.28 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 55+1⁄3 innings pitched. In 2021, the Indians were no-hit three times, and Plesac was the opposing pitcher in all three instances, setting an MLB record.
Plesac’s 2021 campaign saw him earn his first 10-win season with a 10-6 record, a 4.67 ERA, and 100 strikeouts. In a peculiar coincidence, Plesac was the starting pitcher on the opposite end of three no-hitters; the Indians were the first team to be no-hit in three games in one season.
There are no details about his marital status. He may be married or unmarried. There are also no rumors about his wife and girlfriend.
