UNC Baseball: Heels in the MLB

There are currently seven Diamond Heels on MLB rosters having varying levels of success. Six of those seven are pitchers and two are on the Colorado Rockies. Let’s do a quick check-in.

Michael Busch - Chicago Cubs

After just one season with the Dodgers, first baseman Michael Busch is off to an impressive start in Chicago with the 12-7 Cubs. Under-utilized in LA, Busch is batting .317 and has six homers this season, including one stretch in which he hit five dingers in five games.

Daniel Bard - Colorado Rockies

Relief pitcher Daniel Bard is competing for the closer role for the struggling Rockies, who have a 4-15 record.
