Los Angeles Angels pitcher Ryan Zeferjahn, a former Seaman and Kansas star, will make an appearance on Friday, Nov. 29, at Westridge Mall for a free autograph signing.
Zeferjahn, who made his Major League debut this past season for the Angels, is scheduled to appear from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at R & D Collectibles in an event sponsored by Par's Sports Cards and R & D Collectibles.
A 2016 Seaman graduate, Zeferjahn was a multi-sport for the Vikings, earning All-State honors in baseball and being named the Co-City Player of the Year in basketball as a senior.
Zeferjahn went on to pitch three seasons for KU, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors in his final season for the Jayhawks after posting a 5-2 record with a 3.97 earned run average and 107 strikeouts in 88.1 innings pitched.
Zeferjahn was a third-round pick of the Boston Red Sox and rose to the AAA level before being traded to the Angels on July 30.
The Angels called up Zeferjahn on Aug. 22 from AAA Salt Lake and he made his Major League debut on Aug. 25.
Zeferjahn appeared in 12 games for the Angels as a relief pitcher, recording a 2.12 ERA in 17 innings with 18 strikeouts. He compiled an 0.76 WHIP (walks, hits per innings pitched).
Zeferjahn was picked No. 48 this past summer on TopSports.news' list of the Top 100 athletes in Shawnee County history.
