After winning the Cy Young award in 2015 and struggling a bit last year, Houston’s Dallas Keuchel is back in business as the ace of the staff for the best team in baseball this season.
A two-year member of the Wareham Gatemen, Keuchel had the best start of a long and busy Cape League career July 12, 2008. Facing the Chatham A’s at Veterans Field, Keuchel tossed a complete game gem in an 8-2 win. He allowed one earned run and struck out eight.
Just as he’s been a workhorse in Houston, Keuchel shouldered a big load in Wareham, racking up 113.2 innings pitched in his two summers. He had a 3.20 ERA in 2007 and a 2.63 ERA in 2008.
