Baltimore Orioles pitcher Dean Kremer, who has never pitched in the postseason before, is set to start tonight's game against the Texas Rangers. However, Kremer's mind is elsewhere as he has family in Israel. Kremer, who became the first Israeli player taken in the MLB Draft in 2015, will also become the first Israeli to start a playoff game. He acknowledged that the situation in Israel will be in the back of his mind during the game but stated that his family in Israel is okay. Kremer's decision to wear a Star of David necklace during his first career MLB postseason start has been particularly meaningful to some.

Particularly meaningful for me to see Dean Kremer--a dual US-Israeli citizen--wearing a Star of David around his neck on the mound for the Orioles.

Baltimore pitcher Dean Kremer scheduled to start tonight vs. Texas, but his mind is elsewhere. He has family in Israel. @AlejandroAveela https://t.co/XOF3GfSqHn
Orioles backs are to the wall tonight. And they’re asking another starter who has never pitched in the postseason to bail them out. A pitcher who has other serious concerns on his mind. But Dean Kremer isn’t one to back down from a challenge. My piece: https://t.co/reUg8AQtvl
