Hailing from Bamberg, South Carolina, Zachary “Bull” Godley was never expected to be an MLB starter. You’d be hard pressed to find many guys currently playing in the bigs who didn’t start pitching until their junior year of high school. Yet here he is, appearing on our Top 50 list in only his 3rd big league season.
Godley’s professional career began back in 2013 when he was drafted in the 10th round by the Chicago Cubs.
