The 8th best starting pitcher in the 2017 VBL season is Strasburg’s Dylan Hall, from Virginia Tech!
Dylan was one of the (admittedly many) reasons that the Express came within a game of a third straight Jim Lineweaver trophy. Let’s take a look…
| Stras | ERA | W | L | G | GS | IP | H | R | ER | BB | K | BAVG | WIP | BB/9 | K/9 |
| 2017 | 3.34 | 2 | 1 | 9 | 6 | 35.0 | 32 | 17 | 13 | 13 | 35 | 0.239 | 1.286 | 3.3 | 9.0 |
| Play | 0.00 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 12.7 | 10 | 1 | 0 | 10 | 10 | 0.208 | 1.575 | 7.1 | 7.1 |
Of the pitchers considered for this list, Dylan finished 8th in ERA, 10th in innings pitched, 6th in K’s AND batting average, 9th in WHIP, 10th in BB/9, and 5th in K/9. After a solid regular season over 35 innings, Dylan then threw 12 2/3 playoff innings while allowing only 1 unearned run. His best start was in the playoffs, against New Market on July 30th, when he threw 5 shutout innings, while allowing 4 hits, 3 walks, and striking out 5.
Dylan, a Stafford, Virginia, native, is a current sophomore at Virginia Tech. Here are his stats for his freshman year, in which he threw 23 innings:
| VT | ERA | W | L | G | GS | IP | H | R | ER | BB | K | BAVG | WIP | BB/9 | K/9 |
| 2017 | 7.04 | 1 | 1 | 17 | 0 | 23.0 | 29 | 23 | 18 | 10 | 20 | 0.312 | 1.696 | 3.9 | 7.8 |
Congratulations on your excellent summer, Dylan!
