#MizzouMade Brett Graves Makes Major League Debut Sunday

Former Mizzou Baseball standout RHP Brett Graves made his Major League debut Sunday as he tossed 0.1 shutout innings for the Miami Marlin. Graves, originally drafted in the third round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Oakland Athletics, was selected by Miami in the Rule 5 Draft this year, meaning he will be part of the Marlins' 25-man roster for the remainder of the season.

Graves is 53rd Mizzou Baseball player to make a big league roster and first since 2016 when both Brett Nicholas and Rob Zastryzny made their Major League debuts.

After getting the call-up Saturday, Graves made his Major League debut Sunday on Father's Day with his family and many of his friends in attendance, including former Mizzou 2B Brett Peel, who was a childhood friend of Graves and won a 2011 Missouri State Championship at Francis Howell High School together.

Graves retired the only batter he faced, getting Mark Trumbo to ground out to second base on just two pitches.

Below is reaction from the social media world to Graves' call up.
