After more than 1,000 games and 13 seasons in the minor leagues, infielder Drew Maggi was stunned when he heard he'll get a chance to make his MLB debut. The Pittsburgh Pirates called up the 33-year-old career minor leaguer on September 5, 2021, after he had spent the entire season with the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians.

Maggi was drafted by the Pirates in the 15th round of the 2010 MLB Draft and has been in the organization ever since. He's played every position except for catcher and first base during his minor league career, and he's known for his versatility and leadership qualities.

Maggi's call-up is a testament to his perseverance and dedication to the game. He's been grinding in the minors for over a decade, waiting for his chance to prove himself at the highest level. Now, he finally has that chance, and he's ready to make the most of it.
