Ross Stripling almost joined Bumpus Jones in MLB history

In his major league debut, Ross Stripling tossed 7 1/3 no-hit innings against the San Francisco Giants. It is the longest hitless outing in a player's MLB debut in the modern era (since 1900). The previous record was a five-inning hitless outing, achieved by three players, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

But just who is Ross Stripling?

Stripling was drafted by the Dodgers in the fifth round in 2012 out of Texas A&M. In college, Stripling tossed a no-hitter on May 12, 2012. He walked one and struck out seven against San Diego State, throwing 104 pitches.
