Recently saw a blurb about Dane Dunning being named the White Sox minor league pitcher of the month. So, I decided to look up his stats so far this year. WOW!
Over 26 innings (4 starts), he has a 0.35 ERA, 0.577 WHIP, and a 33:2 strikeout to walk ratio.
That is other-worldly (although, keep in mind that it was in A-ball. He has now been called up to Advanced A ball)
I also thought maybe we could use this thread to update how some other Gator baseball players are doing in their quest to try and get to the big leagues. Anybody have any info on others?
I'll start. I was at a Tulsa Drillers game the other day (AA) and they were playing the A's double-A squad. Richie Martin (former 1st round pick) was their starting SS. Looks like he is struggling a bit in his quest for the majors. In his third season out, he is hitting .212 with 2 HR through 24 games. He has yet to hit over .237 for a season.
Another is A.J. Puk. 1st round pick from last year and not deep into his quest yet. Playing in high-A ball this year he has pitched 20.1 inning and has a 5.31 ERA with a 1.180 WHIP and a 33:8 strikeout to walk ratio.
