Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Nick Green throws to the Colorado Rockies in the first inning during a spring training game on Feb. 23, 2019 at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, Ariz.Nick Green was at the gym one morning in December when a friend sent him a text message that was both congratulatory and confusing.
“He said, ‘Congrats on the move,’” Green recalled. “And I said, ‘What move?’”
Green had been selected in baseball’s Rule 5 draft, and a short time after his friend had broken the news, he heard from the Diamondbacks, the club that selected him.
