Welcome to 2022 10th round pick Zebulon Vermillion, a right handed reliever out of the University of Arkansas. He arrives presumably in his final form at 6'5" / 240 lb.
His super cool name immediately got my attention, but it turns out he's just named after Zebulon Pike, some old guy who got a mountain named after him. Skip to 11:00 in this podcast episode for the background story --

Anyway, he spent 5 seasons in college due to the extra covid year and he's 23 already, so maybe he starts off right away in Brooklyn and we see how that goes. I'm looking forward to hearing his name called out over the Citi Field PA someday.

I look forward to him joining Vida Blue and Kevin Brown on the All-Color Team.

I believe COVID-19 allowed all NCAA athletes an extra year of eligibility.

I missed this yesterday, but Zebulon has signed a minor league deal for a $20k bonus. He's doing the team a solid by signing for a lot less than the $152k slot value of the pick. You don't have a whole lot of negotiating leverage as a 5th-year senior.

Zeb has been assigned to the FCL Mets, in what used to be known as the Gulf Coast League.

Zebulon Vermillion (that is FUN to type) pitched a scoreless inning in his pro debut last night.

And he only needed three pitches to do it, unless that's a misprint.

Assigned to St. Lucie a few weeks ago, but his roster status is shown as "injured - full season", so that's unfortunate.
I was looking forward to frequent reports of dominant Zebulon! performances but I guess that will have to wait.

I hope some day he's a Vermillionairre.

This guy still exists as far as I know. My web browser can't access any news about players in alternate dimensions or parallel universes, so I just have to assume.

I missed this news back in November but Zebulon! was activated by the St. Lucie Mets.
Hoping for some more exciting updates soon.
