Never heard about these guys before. There are 24 players who made their MLB debut during the 2020 pandemic season in front of empty stadiums and never put on a big league uniform again. So even though are recognized as MLB players they never played in a game with people in the stands. Since they have already been out of the big leagues five years it's doubtful they'll ever return.
Story came out because Kyle Hart, one of the "Lost Boys" started for the Padres Monday night and got his first big league win. so now the number is 23. Congratulations Kyle!!!!
Honestly I don't recognize a single one on this list except for Jorge Ona who was with the Padres.

the 24 players whose entire MLB careers were played only in the 2020 pandemic season,

Interesting - thanks for sharing. I remember Braylin Marquez because he was once of the Cubs top pitching prospects. I have to look back, but I seem to remember him having a couple of outings in front of fans, but I'm not sure.

I love these types of occurrences in sports and it seems like baseball has more than others. Maybe because of the number of games played? Or number of years it's been played?
