Zuber is a former sixth-round pick by the Kansas City Royals in the 2017 MLB Draft. Over two years in the MLB, he holds a 5.29 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, with 55 strikeouts over 49.1 innings and 54 appearances.

Zuber throws four pitches: a four-seam fastball, slider, changeup and a curveball. However, his four-seamer and slider are his bread and butter, which he throws 58% and 30% respectively.
