Jumping from High A to Majors?

[SRQCub]

Arizona had a reliever just make the jump from High A to the Majors (queue "more like High A to AA, amirite?" posts) this weekend, and I'm wondering what other players of note have done this? I know that Jim Abbott went straight from college to the Majors, but are there some other notable guys who've jumped from A to the show and stuck there?

Mike Leake never pitched in the minors either.

I want to say Chris Sale and Carlos Rodon either pitched like no, or very few minor league innings.

 

Edit: Sale pitched 4 innings at A+ and 6 at AAA before coming up, Rodon pitched 12 innings between rookie ball and A+ then 22 innings at AAA before coming up

Pujols got a few at bats above A+, but basically went straight from there to the majors.

 

--------ETA

 

He had 15 at bats in AAA

I've seen the "never played in the minors" list, just can't find anything on jumps from A to MLB. Thanks, though.

Eddie Gaedel on that list, lol

Jose Fernandez of the Marlins, unless you count rehab.

Emmanuel Burriss oddly enough, had only 14 G above A-ball before promotion

 

rule V 5 picks like Everth Cabrera come to mind

Mike Morgan makes the list. He was drafted June 6th right out of high school. He made his major league debut 5 days later.

 

Can you imagine graduating from high school, then finding yourself on a major league mound in less than two weeks? I think I was drunk for the first two weeks after I graduated.

Jose Fernandez of the Marlins, unless you count rehab.

 

I remember when that happened I was like "Hahaha, look at the stupid Marlins! What a dumb move,he's gonna get shelled!"

 

Yeah
