Outdoing last year

The Frontier League had three players picked up by major league affiliates in the last four days. That brings the total to 16 players who have moved on to affiliated ball since the regular season began in May. Among those signed was Rockford pitcher Drew Ruscinski, who threw a five-hit complete game with 10 strikeouts against the Wild Things in late July. He was signed by the Los Angeles Angels.

Last year, 15 players were picked up during the regular season.

UPDATE: Count is now 17 players picked up as Normal had a pitcher signed today by the Philadelphia Phillies.
