My Debut: Meibrys Viloria
Meibrys Viloria reminisces about his Major League debut, one year ago today
Now a familiar face behind the plate since joining the Royals on July 16, Meibrys Viloria’s introduction to the Majors came last year, after the Royals recalled him from Advanced-A Wilmington on September 1, 2018.
According to Royals Hall of Fame Director Curt Nelson, Viloria became just the sixth known Royal to jump from Class-A to the Majors (excluding Rule 5 picks), joining: Donnie Murphy (2004), Dee Brown (1999), Mike Sweeney (1995), Jeff Granger (1993) and Buck Martinez (1969).
