Astros righthander Shawn Dubin took a winding road to his first call-up to the majors.
Tony Dubin was spending Saturday evening at the beach near Jacksonville, Fla., when his phone rang. On the line was the middle of his three sons, Shawn, a righthander at Triple-A in the Astros’ system.Hectic hours followed. A rush home to book a morning flight. An early layover in Nashville. A slight delay getting to Minute Maid Park.
“It’s been a crazy journey,” Shawn Dubin said. “But it’s a good thing I’ve had a lot of people in my corner helping me, pushing me along the way.” Dubin had played shortstop in high school. But he impressed enough to join the University of Buffalo, a Division I program, in 2016. He pitched two seasons there before Buffalo cut its baseball program. After going undrafted in 2017, Dubin landed at Georgetown College, where he garnered enough attention to be drafted by the Astros, who gave him a $1,000 signing bonus.
“He’s worked hard to get to that,” Murphy said. “He’s gained some weight, he’s matured physically. He’s turned himself into an exciting pitcher.”
