Career
Weber was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 12th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft out of Clearwater Central Catholic High School in Clearwater, Florida. He did not sign and attended St. Petersburg College. He was then drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 22nd round of the 2009 MLB Draft and signed.
Weber began the 2015 season with the AA Mississippi Braves. He was later promoted to AAA Gwinnett, and began pitching games as a starter in late August. Weber was called up to the majors for the first time on September 8, 2015 to start in place of Matt Wisler, who had been forced to pitch in relief two days prior, and subsequently missed his turn in the rotation. Weber threw six innings against the Philadelphia Phillies, yielding two runs and four hits on 76 pitches.
Weber was invited to spring training in 2016, and sent to Gwinnett to start the season. At both the major and minor league levels, Weber pitched primarily in relief. He was recalled on April 18, after the team placed Gordon Beckham on the disabled list. Weber made three appearances and recorded a 10.57 ERA before returning to the minors on April 27. Jason Grilli was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays on May 31, and Weber was recalled again. Three days later, Weber was returned to Gwinnett. After a ten-day stint in the minors, Weber was recalled on June 13, only to be optioned the next day. Weber was recalled as an extra reliever and took struggling starter Matt Wisler's roster spot on July 31. On August 3, Weber was replaced with reliever Brandon Cunniff, only to be recalled on August 13.
On November 2, 2016, Weber was claimed off waivers by the Seattle Mariners. He was designated for assignment by the Mariners on November 28, and outrighted to Triple-A on December 2.
His contract was selected on May 13, 2017, so that he could make a start against the Toronto Blue Jays. Weber was placed on the disabled list the next day.
