Career

Amateur career

edit

Duplantier attended Seven Lakes High School in Katy, Texas, and Rice University. He played college baseball for the Rice Owls.[1] After missing the 2015 season due to a shoulder injury, Duplantier returned in 2016, and was named the Conference USA Pitcher of the Year.[2]

Arizona Diamondbacks

edit

The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Duplantier in the third round of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft.[3] He made his professional debut with the Hillsboro Hops in June 2016, and pitched one inning there, striking out the side. He started 2017 with the Kane County Cougars[4] and was later promoted to the Visalia Rawhide, posting a combined 12–3 record with a 1.39 ERA in 25 games, including 24 starts between both teams.[5] He played in the 2017 All-Star Futures Game.[6] MLB Pipeline named him their Pipeline Pitcher of the Year.[7]

Duplantier spent the 2018 season pitching for the Jackson Generals.[8] In 14 starts, he went 5–1 with a 2.55 ERA.[9]

On April 1, 2019, Duplantier was called up to the major leagues for the first time,[10] and made his major league debut. He recorded three scoreless innings in relief and earned a save.[11] He finished the season with a 1–1 record in 15 games (three starts). Duplantier did not appear in a game with Arizona in 2020 and did not play in a minor league game due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]

Duplantier was assigned to the Triple-A Reno Aces to begin the 2021 season. He struggled to a 7.78 ERA in four games between Reno and the rookie-level Arizona League Diamondbacks, and fared worse in the majors, struggling to a 13.15 ERA with 12 strikeouts in 13 innings over four appearances.[9] While pitching in the minor leagues, Duplantier suffered a season-ending lat strain. Since injured players cannot be placed on outright waivers, the Diamondbacks released Duplantier on July 27, 2021.[13] On July 31, the Diamondbacks re-signed Duplantier to a minor league contract.[14] He elected minor league free agency following the season.
