Joey Wendle led the West Chester Golden Rams to a Division II Championship in 2012, and he followed it up with a pro career, first with the Oakland Athletics, where he played minimally before he was traded to Tampa.

Wendle won the Second Base job out of Spring Training in 2018, and the versatile defensive player was fourth in American League Rookie of the Year voting while batting an even .300.  Wendle was hurt through much of 2019, but was a top player on the 2020 team that won the Pennant.  In 2021, Wendle had another good year with Tampa, going to the All-Star Game, with an 11 HR/.265 year.  

After the 2021 Season, Tampa traded Wendle across the state to Miami.  With the Rays, the infielder had 371 Hits.
