Daniel Camarena

Daniel Ricardo Camarena is an American professional baseball pitcher for the San Diego Padres of Major League Baseball (MLB). He was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 20th round of the 2011 Major League Baseball draft. Listed at 6 feet 0 inches (1.83 m) and 210 pounds (95 kg), he throws and bats left-handed. Camarena spent a day on the Yankees’ active roster in 2019, but did not appear in a game, earning him the distinction of being a “phantom ballplayer”. He remained a phantom ballplayer until he made his MLB debut with the Padres in 2021.
