Cleveland Indians 2016 fourth round draft pick Shane Bieber hates giving up free passes. Since beginning his professional career last July, the 21-year old has tossed 53.0 total innings.
He’s walked just three batters thus far.
Meanwhile, the former UC Santa Barbara standout has struck out 52, good for an insane 17.3 K/BB ratio for his young career.
Bieber began his 2017 campaign with the Single-A Lake County Captains and the early reviews have been glowing. The Tribe brass was impressed enough to promote him to High-A Lynchburg yesterday after just five starts.
The talented right-handed starter spoke with Let’s Go Tribe about his famous last name, progressing from college walk-on to high draft pick and the secret behind his great command in this exclusive interview.
