Nefi Ismael Ogando (born June 3, 1989) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2015.

Career

Ogando signed as an international free agent with the Boston Red Sox. In 2013, the Red Sox traded Ogando to the Philadelphia Phillies for John McDonald.[1] In 2014, Ogando pitched for the Reading Fightin' Phils of the Class AA Eastern League.[2] The Phillies assigned Ogando to the Arizona Fall League, and he appeared in the league's all-star game.[3] After the season, the Phillies added Ogando to their 40-man roster.[4]

The Philles promoted Ogando to the major leagues in August,[5] but optioned him back to the minor leagues without making an appearance. Ogando made his major league debut on September 9. After the 2015 season, the Miami Marlins claimed Ogando from the Phillies off of waivers.[6] Ogando began the 2016 season with the New Orleans Zephyrs of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League, and promoted him to the major leagues on May 3.[7]
