Van Poppel was the first of four starting pitchers selected by the A’s in the first 36 picks of the 1990 draft, referred to at the time as “The Four Aces”. The other three draftees were Don Peters, Dave Zancanaro and Kirk Dressendorfer. All four struggled with injuries after being drafted, and only Van Poppel and Dressendorfer ever reached the major leagues.
