STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- Daniel Zamora, a former Stony Brook baseball pitcher, became the fifth player in the Seawolves' baseball program's history to reach the Major Leagues when the New York Mets called up the left-handed pitcher on Friday afternoon.

Zamora, who pitched for Seawolves from 2013-15, is scheduled to meet the Mets in Philadelphia prior to the team's game against the Phillies on Friday night.

This season, as a member of the Class AA Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Zamora appeared in 40 games with a win and two saves. The La Puente, Calif., native had a 3.48 ERA in 51.2 innings of work to go with 69 strikeouts for Binghamton this season. He was also selected to the Eastern League All-Star team last month.

With the call to the big league, Zamora joins current major leaguers from Stony Brook Travis Jankowski with the San Diego Padres, Nick Tropeano with the Los Angeles Angels (currently on the 10-day disabled list) and Tom Koehler with the Los Angeles Dodgers (currently on the 60-day disabled list), as well as 16-year veteran and six-time All-Star Joe Nathan who retired following the 2016 season.

During his Stony Brook career, Zamora won nine games in just two full seasons and was named first team All-America East Conference in 2015 on his way to leading the Seawolves to both a league regular season and tournament championship. He was selected in the 40th round of the MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2015 and was then traded to the Mets organization this past off-season.
