About his career

Pobereyko’s father introduced him to baseball who used to always play catch.

Pobereyko graduated from Hammond Bishop Noll Institute in 2010. He wasn’t a pitcher only until he got to college. 

Around his junior year of high school, he started focusing more on pitching than any other game aspect. 

It was not an easy ride as he had to undergo Tommy John surgery in 2012 while he was in his 2nd year at South Suburban College in Illinois. 

After the surgery, he was not considering giving up though there were points in his life when he thought he might not recover to the fullest. 

But he was close to quitting after struggling to achieve success a year after the surgery which was further accompanied by second elbow surgery in 2014 that made him unable to throw a ball without pain.

He managed to put it through in 2015 and had a high hope to get selected in the 2015 MLB draft after he posted a 1.84 ERA with 12.76 K/9 and 6.01 H/9 as a started but unfortunately he was not selected by any team so he went on to pitch professionally for the Florence Freedom in the independent Frontier League. 

Because of his impressive performance, the Arizona Diamondbacks later signed him to a minor league contract in early 2016. 

He went back to Florence Freedom in 2017 after being released by Arizona Diamondbacks in mid-October.

He was soon to make an impression pitching brilliantly giving up just two earned runs and striking out 38 providing him 19.00 k/9 in eighteen innings and catching the eye of several other teams including the New York Mets. 

Since the Mets were the first to send contracts, he chose the Mets.
