Make sure you read this one carefully, as one of these guys almost threw a no-hitter…

Starts on Saturday, April 25

  • Alex Wimmers (Luray 2008) for AA Chattanooga: 4.1 IP, 10 hits, 9 earned runs, 3 BB, 2 K’s, no decision, game score of 6. Loss, 16-10. Alex is now 0-0, 8.68.
  • Chris Devenski (Woodstock 2011) for AA Corpus Christi: 6.1 IP, 0 hits, 0 runs, 3 BB, 8 K’s, Win, 16-1, game score of 78. Chris has yet to give up a run in 2015- he’s 2-0, 0.00 in 15 innings. And yes, Chris was 2 outs away from a no-hitter (it was a double-header, thus the 7 inning game), but was taken out because he reached his pitch limit (he threw 87 pitches). This is the best start of the year by a Valley League alum so far. For the game story, click here.
  • Ryan Yarbrough (Luray 2012) for A Bakersfield: 6 IP, 4 hits, 0 runs, 1 BB, 6 K’s, win, 3-0, game score of 69. Alex is 2-1, 1.23 on the year.

  • Elih Villanueva (Luray 2007) for AA Bowie
  • Sam Howard (Staunton 2012) for A Asheville
