Career

Selby played college baseball at Randolph–Macon College. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 16th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[1] Selby did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]

On November 15, 2022, the Pirates added Selby to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[3] Selby began the 2023 season on the Opening Day roster of the Indianapolis Indians.[4] He spent most of the season as the Indians primary closer, posting a 3.86 ERA with 6 saves in 28 appearances prior to his promotion.[5] On August 8, 2023, Selby was promoted to the major leagues for the first time, making his debut the following day against the Atlanta Braves.[6][7][8] In his debut, Selby pitched 1+2⁄3 innings, recording three strikeouts in relief.[9]
