Scott Schebler became the first Cedar Rapids Prairie graduate to reach the Major Leagues on Friday when he joined the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Schebler, 24, started in left field Friday night for the Dodgers against St. Louis and got a single in his first at-bat. He finished 1-for-3 in a 2-1 setback.

Schebler was hitting .216 with six home runs for Oklahoma City in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League. He was summoned to Los Angeles due to injuries on the Major League club.

Schebler is the only Metro graduate in the Major Leagues. Ryan Sweeney, a Xavier grad, was released by the Chicago Cubs prior to the season.
