Wild Things get Gett

The Wild Things have solved their pitching problems for the final series against Slippery Rock. They have acquired pitcher Alex Gett from the St. Joe's Blacksnakes of the independent American Association in exchange for a player to be named later.

Gett replaces Cory Hahn (season-ending shoulder injury) on the roster. Gett will start Game 2 of the Thursday doubleheader against Slippery Rock.

Gett pitched in three games for St. Joe's and had a 0-0 record and 1.13 ERA. He pitched 16 innings, giving up 14 hits, three runs (two earned) with one walk and 18 strikeouts. In his final game for St. Joe's last Wednesday, Gett started and pitched seven innings against Pensacola, allowing six hits, two earned runs with one walk and 10 strikeouts.

A right-hander from Punxsutawney, Gett played at IUP and was a volunteer assistant coach this spring. He attended the Frontier League tryout this spring but was not drafted.
