- RHP Jordan Geber (Mets/AA), a Mount St. Mary’s and Virginia Tech alum who went undrafted in 2022, reached Triple-A by 2024 and has twice played in the prestigious Arizona Fall League.

Geber is on the same pitching staff as RJ Gordon. “It was an honor and a blessing to represent my heritage and Israel in the 2026 World Baseball Classic,” Geber wrote on Instagram. “I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be part of something so special!” (6/16/2026)
