He picked up his first professional win in the first ever game played at Spirit Communications Park (April 14, 2016 vs. Greenville). Conlon finished 2016 with the advanced-A St. Lucie Mets and wound up posting a minor league-best 1.65 ERA.
Conlon was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, before moving at a young age with his family to California in 1996. With the start on Monday, Conlon will become the first Irish-born player to appear in a Major League Baseball game since Joe Cleary played for the Washington Nationals in 1945. In fact, the last Belfast-born player to appear in an MLB game was Henry McIlveen in 1909.
