Happy birthday to ~
OF Dan Gulbransen (23)
Originally from Appleton, Wisconsin, Gulbransen was selected in the 16th round in 2012 out of Jacksonville University (FL). Gulbransen started his season at Tri-City, but didn't last there long as he was quickly promoted to Quad Cities and later to Advanced A Lancaster to end the season. In a total of 56 games, he hit .321/.385/.502 with 15 doubles, a triple and seven home runs.
