Mann, what a start

In case you missed it: The Kalamazoo Kings have signed former Washington & Jefferson College pitcher Sam Mann. The PAC Player of the Year this spring, Mann made his professional debut Tuesday against Windy City. Mann started the game and pitched six strong innings, allowing eight hits, three runs and no walks. Mann left with a 4-3 lead but the Kings' bullpen couldn't hold the advantage. Windy City won the game, 9-4.

Mann's six innings without a walk means he has thrown 87 1/3 innings this year and walked only six batters.

For many Frontier League pitchers, six walks in a GAME is a good outing.
