The Arizona Diamondbacks took a gamble, calling up No. 1 prospect Ryan Waldschmidt ahead of their three-game series with the New York Mets. But that gamble has already begun to pay off in the short-term. Waldschmidt, who made his major league debut in a pinch-hit situation on Friday night, collected his first major league hit in front of his family and friends , on just the second major league pitch he saw. But after an 0-for-3 game on Saturday, Waldschmidt put together his first truly high-quality game of his MLB career — and he was a critical piece of a much-needed win over the New York Mets in the Sunday finale to clinch a series win. Through his first eight MLB plate appearances, he's hitting .375/.375/.500 . A good start, to be sure.
