Short Biography
Jacob Tanner Diekman (born January 21, 1987) is an American professional baseball pitcher with the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Philadelphia Phillies. He throws left-handed. Diekman grew up in Wymore, Nebraska, where he attended a high school too small for a baseball team, so he instead focused on golf, playing baseball in the summer for an American Legion team. He played two seasons of baseball in college at Doane College and Cloud County Community College respectively before attending a junior college baseball showcase, at which he was offered a scholarship to play Division I baseball. However, in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft, the Philadelphia Phillies selected him in the 30th round, and he ultimately signed.
