Zac Gallen dishes on his journey to become Arizona's ace, and an incident with Ben Verlander when they played against each other in the minors.
in the Florida Complex League — essentially tracking pitcher and hitter data for every pitch thrown. It's a tedious task, but this game was going along at a great pace and was on course to finish in less than two hours."Someone who may or may not be named dropped a fly ball in right field," Gallen recalled, laughing."The game lasted four hours," Gallen recalled."I was charting that day in the May heat of Florida.
That was the one pop-up I remember just clamping up on in the outfield, and having the chance to apologize to Gallen and laugh about it was honestly a little therapeutic. "I would never have dreamed of that," Gallen said."I was just happy to be there. … It was a no-brainer. My rest schedule kind of lined up anyway, so I thought, ‘You never know how many All-Star Game appearances you're going to get. You don't know if this is going to be your only one.'"
Gallen is also getting some valuable experience along with the rest of the young Diamondbacks' core this season as Arizona is in the thick of the NL playoff race despite stumbling out of the gate to begin the second half of the season. Yes, Arizona has pretty much ceded the division race to the usual suspects in, but they are still just 2.5 games out of the third wild-card spot entering Wednesday's action.
