freshman watch: pitchers

Here’s a look at the top freshman pitchers on the Cape. Those with a ‘*’ by their names have been primarily starters.

PLAYER	COLLEGE	CAPE TEAM	ERA
Rob Catapano	North Carolina	Orleans	0.00
Kevin Couture	USC	Chatham	1.04
Kyle Gibson*	Missouri	Falmouth	1.13
Brad Boxberger*	USC	Orleans	1.24
Andy Oliver*	Oklahoma State	Wareham	1.66
Hunter Harris	Texas	Hyannis	2.25
Alex White*	North Carolina	Chatham	2.29
Charles Brewer*	UCLA	Chatham	2.29
Preston Claiborne	Tulane	Falmouth	2.65

In the first installment of this series, Catapano hadn’t pitched much. He’s pitched more now, but still hasn’t given up a run.

Couture has been on fire in a setup role for the A’s. On July 15, he had given up three earned runs. Now, he’s still given up just three earned runs.

The five starters on this list just keep putting up great numbers. White has been impressive since taking over a spot in Chatham’s rotation.
