“So we’re going to have to cancel that place in San Diego,” Mantiply told his family over the phone. “It’s pretty cool, huh?”

Mantiply will be the lone All-Star to represent the Diamondbacks in Los Angeles next week.

Mantiply was drafted in the 48th round of the 2009 MLB Draft by New York, however, he didn’t play with the Mets and decided to attend Virginia Tech to play collegiate baseball. He was later drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2012 but remained in college.

After his senior season at Virginia Tech, Mantiply was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 27th round of the 2013 MLB Draft.

He made his major league debut on Sept. 3, 2016, with Detroit.

Following his five-game stint with the Tigers, Mantiply appeared in just one game with the New York Yankees.

On January 20, 2020, Mantiply signed a minor-league deal with the D-backs. Months later On September 1, 2020, the D-backs selected Mantiply’s contract to the active roster.

Mantiply appeared in 57 games for Arizona last season as he became a regular bullpen pitcher before breaking out this year.

Despite struggling when he first entered the league, Mantiply is pitching the best baseball of his career this season for Arizona.

In 35 games this season, the southpaw is sporting a superb 1.83 ERA across 34.1 innings pitched.

Amid the D-backs’ struggles this season, Mantiply has been a force to be reckoned with in the bullpen and soon will have an All-Star appearance to show for it.
