Tigers Minor League Baseball Blog

Pitching wasn’t the Hens strong point.  Five pitchers threw more then 100 innings and their ERA’s ranged from 3.13 to 5.65. Here are some highlights.

Andrew Oliver – Oliver had a mixed bag season.  He was vaulted over by Jacob Turner as far as spot starts for the Tigers and while he threw 147 innings and struck out 143, he had a rough WHIP of 1.56.  His ERA was 4.71 and he walked 80 guys which isn’t going to cut it.  The potential is there, he just needs to find some control.

Duane Below – Below ended up with the Tigers for a nice chunk of the season but when he was with the Hens, he was probably their best pitcher.  He struck out 83 in 115 innings and he finished with a 3.13 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP.  His record was 9-4 and that win total was the best on the team.
