A former Colorado prep star this week joined a select list of four Baseball Hall of Famers and two perennial all-stars.
Reds starter Kevin Gausman, a Grandview High School grad, on Sunday became just the seventh player in major league history to throw at least two immaculate innings — three strikeouts in nine pitches — in his career. He joins Hall of Famers Lefty Grove, Randy Johnson, Sandy Koufax and Nolan Ryan, as well as Washington’s Max Scherzer and Boston’s Chris Sale.
“My fastball was up and my split was down,” Gausman told the Cincinnati Examiner after the game.
