Is Joel Zumaya of Assyrian roots?

[Nina]

Joel Martin Zumaya (born November 9, 1984) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. He is known for his record-breaking fastballs. Zumaya was drafted out of Bonita Vista High School in the 11th round by the Tigers, the 320th overall selection of the 2002 MLB Draft. He was chosen because of his power arm, but it was not clear whether he would be able to develop adequate control of an off-speed pitch. He is known for his 100 MPH fastball.
