Congratulations to Warwick Saupold, who yesterday (Australian time) became Australia's 32nd Major League Baseball player after making his MLB with the Detroit Tigers. It's kind of ironic that Saupold has made his MLB debut after his worst W-L season in the ABL (going 1-5 after recording 10-8 across the previous five ABL seasons.) The 2015-16 ABL season was Saupold's sixth ABL season with the Perth Heat.

His MLB debut breaks the five year Aussie drought since Liam Hendriks, another Perth pitcher, made his MLB debut with the Twins in 2011.
Unfortunately, I didn't have any action shots of Saupold during last season, but I did get the ubiquitous levitating ball shot :)
