Carson Gregory Winthrop 2017Today we have the 6th best relief pitcher in the 2017 Valley League season: New Market’s Carson Gregory!

Carson, a redshirt junior at Winthrop, put up the following numbers for the Rebels:

NM ERA W L G SV IP H R ER BB K BAVG WIP BB/9 K/9
2017 1.97 1 2 14 0 27.3 17 9 6 7 19 0.173 0.879 2.3 6.3
Play 0.00 0 0 1 0 2.0 1 0 0 0 0 0.143 0.500 0.0 0.0

Out of the pitchers considered for this list, Carson finished 6th in innings pitched, 7th in batting average against, 6th in WHIP, and 7th in BB/9. He had a stretch, between July 1 and July 19, when he threw 11 straight shutout innings while allowing 5 hits, 1 walk, and striking out 6.

Carson had to redshirt in 2016 because of the always scary Tommy John surgery, but here are his college stats in 2015 and 2017:

Win ERA W L G SV IP H R ER BB K WIP BB/9 K/9
2015 6.59 0 0 12 0 13.7 18 10 10 4 7 1.606 2.6 4.6
2017 11.57 0 1 13 0 11.7 27 18 15 4 8 2.650 3.1 6.2

Congratulations on your excellent summer, Carson!
