Heid Signed to Mexican League

Kansas City, KS — It was announced Monday morning that Monarchs right handed pitcher, Dylan Heid, was signed to Piratas de Campeche in the Mexican League.

During his time with the Monarchs, the Malvern, PA native pitched in 14 innings of work while surrendering 15 hits and nine runs, but threw 17 strikeouts. Heid appeared out of the bullpen seven times, but made two starts for a 5.14 ERA.

Manager Joe Calfapietra says, “I’m very happy for Dylan getting this opportunity and we wish nothing but the best for him in his new venture.”

Heid was  ranked third in the NCAA with a 1.37 ERA in his final year and was a second-team All-American at D2 Pittsburgh-Johnstown. He was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 2021 draft in the 11th round.

For the first time in his career, he will pitch outside of the United States and comes to Campeche with 99 games at the Minor League level. The right hander also appeared in seven games in Triple-A with the Norfolk Tides.

Joe talks about his excitement for players that move on from KC. “All of our players (that) have a chance to advance, we are very happy for them.”

The Monarchs organization wishes Dylan nothing but the best in his next stop to Mexico.
