Player Bio:
Matthew Festa (born March 11, 1993 in Staten Island, NY) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Seattle Mariners organization. The Seattle Mariners selected him in the seventh round, with the 207th overall selection, of the 2016 MLB draft.
In 2016, Matt pitched for the Everett AquaSox of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League, and in 2017 he pitched for the Modesto Nuts of the Class A-Advanced California League, where he went 4–2 with a 3.23 ERA with 99 strikeouts in 69 2⁄3 innings pitched, and appeared in the league's all-star game.
In 2018, the Mariners invited Matt to spring training. He began the regular season with the Arkansas Travelers of the Class AA Texas League, and the Mariners promoted him to the major leagues on July 14.
Festa made the Mariners' Opening Day roster in 2019. He was sent down to AAA multiple times during the season, ending his 2019 season with just 20 appearances for Seattle.
