Thomas Ryan Pressly (born December 15, 1988) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Minnesota Twins and Houston Astros, and for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic (WBC).
A two-time American League (AL) All-Star, Pressly was selected to the 2022 All-MLB Team in conjunction with winning his first World Series championship as a member of the Astros. That season, he became the first pitcher to finish two no-hit games, including just the second no-hitter in World Series history. In 2019, he set the MLB record for consecutive scoreless appearances with 40.
From Dallas, Texas, Pressly was selected by the Boston Red Sox from high school in the 11th round of the 2007 MLB draft. After five seasons in the minor leagues, he was chosen by the Minnesota Twins in the 2012 Rule 5 draft, and made his MLB debut in 2013. The Twins traded Pressly to Houston in 2018. In Game 4 of the 2022 World Series, he became the first MLB relief pitcher to contribute to two combined no-hitters and just the second pitcher overall[a][1] As a member of the Astros, Pressly has played in the postseason in each of his first seven seasons, and his fourteen saves[b] rank fifth in MLB history.[2]
