Zack Wheeler Children: Does Zach Wheeler Have Kids?
Zack Wheeler is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball.
The Smyrna, Georgia native, Zack Wheeler, pitched for East Paulding High School, leading the team to a state playoff appearance in 2009 and pitching a no-hitter against Mill Creek High School.
The San Francisco Giants selected Wheeler sixth overall in the 2009 MLB Draft, and he elected to sign with the team rather than honoring his previous college baseball commitment to Kennesaw State.
On August 17, 2009, Wheeler chose to sign with the Giants, a deal that included a $3.3 million signing bonus.
Wheeler played for the Giants’ minor league teams in 2010 and 2011 before he was traded to the Mets in July 2011.
Following the trade, Wheeler rose through the Mets’ farm system, making his major league debut in 2013 but tore his ulnar collateral ligament during spring training in 2015.
After a 2017 season that was limited by injury, Wheeler returned to form with the Mets in 2018, setting a career-high number of strikeouts and innings pitched. He then became a free agent at the end of the 2019 season and signed a five-year, $118 million deal with the Phillies in December 2019.
Zack Wheeler has played 8 seasons for the Mets and Phillies. He has 73 wins, 57 losses, an ERA of 3.46 and 1,174 strikeouts.
