    Rule 5 Picks with a HR in the postseason

    There are a several Rule 5 picks that have hit HRs in the postseason.

    What I don't know is if any of them hit a HR in the year in which they were selected in the Rule 5 draft.

    How would I even go about researching that?


    EDIT: I started this in response to Ryan Flaherty hitting a HR tonight.

    Thank you, Silver. I wasnt sure what year he was selected. This is a good question. Im sure - if there is a guy - it will be some obscure name. Lets see.

    Roch asked a similar question in one of his game updates. He asked "So, who's the last Rule 5 pick to homer in the playoffs in his rookie season?"

    I commented with "Who's the last Rule 5 pick to homer in the playoffs in the year of his selection?"

    I still haven't been able to find any players who hit a postseason HR in the year they were selected in the Rule 5 draft. I'm not really finding an easy way to connect the two searches. Sounds like a job for Elias.
