Phillip Stewart Diehl (born July 16, 1994) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds organization. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Colorado Rockies.

Amateur career

Diehl attended Moeller High School in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] In 2013 he played college baseball at the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana.[2] In 2014, he transferred to Wabash Valley College in Mount Carmel, Illinois.[3] He then transferred to Louisiana Tech University and played college baseball for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs in 2015 and 2016.[1] He missed the majority of the 2015 season with an arm injury.[1]

Professional career

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees selected Diehl in the 27th round of the 2016 MLB draft.[4] He signed with the Yankees for $50,000 rather than return to college, and was assigned to the Staten Island Yankees of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn League.[5] He began the 2018 season with the Tampa Tarpons of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League and was promoted to the Trenton Thunder of the Class AA Eastern League.[6]

Colorado Rockies

On March 23, 2019, Diehl was traded to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for outfielder Mike Tauchman.[7] After the trade, he played for the Hartford Yard Goats, and the Albuquerque Isotopes.[8]

On June 10, 2019, his contract was selected and he was called up to the major leagues for the first time.[9] He made his debut on June 11 versus the Chicago Cubs, allowing two runs in one inning of relief.[10] On June 23, 2020, it was announced that Diehl had tested positive for COVID-19.[11] He returned in time for the start of summer camp on July 4.[12] In 2020, Diehl pitched six innings in as many games, allowing seven runs on seven hits for a 10.50 ERA with four strikeouts.[13]

On April 10, 2021, Diehl was designated for assignment after Alan Trejo was added to the roster.[14]

Cincinnati Reds

On April 14, 2021, Diehl was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds.[15] On May 2, 2021, Diehl was designated for assignment by Cincinnati following the waiver claim of Ashton Goudeau.[16][17] On May 4, Diehl was outrighted to the Triple-A Louisville Bats.[18]
