Lively was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds during the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft, but it wasn’t until June 2017, with the Philadelphia Phillies, that he made his major league debut. During the 2018 season, Lively joined the Kansas City Royals and right before he arrived in the KBO, he was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Throughout Lively’s major league career, he picked up four wins and 10 losses with a 4.80 ERA.
