April 1, 2026: St. Lucie Mets released Zebulon Vermillion. Thus concludes the saga of the prospect I adopted based on his name alone. I had high hopes after he threw just three pitches to get through one perfect inning in 2022, but shortly thereafter he was struck down by a meteor and was unable to get back on the field after several grueling surgeries and rehab stints. I assume.

HOLY **** November 6, 2025 : St. Lucie Mets activated RHP Zebulon Vermillion from the 60-day injured list.

You may be thinking of Jermaine Dye.

This team kinda pisses me off

It's gonna be Salt Potatoes

Looks to me like he's ready to get on a mound.

Scroll 90% of the way down this article and you'll find some actual info about what's going on with this guy: https://www.amazinavenue.com/2025/2/5/24357590/mets-top-prospects-2025-other-players-of-note-new-york Evidently he had Tommy John surgery following his one professional appearance in August of 2022... so let's say he tried to rehab it, underwent the procedure at some point in the spring / summer of 2023, I could see how someone might miss all of 2024. So... barring a setback you'd think he'd be throwing something somewhere by now. Can I get a pic of this guy skipping a rock on a lake in the Ozarks? Anything?

March 20, 2024 : St. Lucie Mets placed RHP Zebulon Vermillion on the 60-day injured list. We broke him, you guys

I missed this news back in November but Zebulon! was activated by the St. Lucie Mets. Hoping for some more exciting updates soon.
-
This guy still exists as far as I know. My web browser can't access any news about players in alternate dimensions or parallel universes, so I just have to assume.
-
Assigned to St. Lucie a few weeks ago, but his roster status is shown as "injured - full season", so that's unfortunate. I was looking forward to frequent reports of dominant Zebulon! performances but I guess that will have to wait.
-
And he only needed three pitches to do it, unless that's a misprint. https://www.milb.com/player/zebulon-vermillion-676199

Zeb has been assigned to the FCL Mets, in what used to be known as the Gulf Coast League.
-
I missed this yesterday, but Zebulon has signed a minor league deal for a $20k bonus. He's doing the team a solid by signing for a lot less than the $152k slot value of the pick. You don't have a whole lot of negotiating leverage as a 5th-year senior.

Welcome to 2022 10th round pick Zebulon Vermillion, a right handed reliever out of the University of Arkansas. He arrives presumably in his final form at 6'5" / 240 lb. His super cool name immediately got my attention, but it turns out he's just named after Zebulon Pike, some old guy who got a mountain named after him. Skip to 11:00 in this podcast episode for the background story -- https://thehogpod.libsyn.com/153-zebulon-vermillion-whats-in-a-name Anyway, he spent 5 seasons in college due to the extra covid year and he's 23 already, so maybe he starts off right away in Brooklyn and we see how that goes. I'm looking forward to hearing his name called out over the Citi Field PA someday. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=vermil000zeb
