99 pitches, but a run ain’t one.
Kyle Wright entered 2017 as a pre-season All-American and legitimate contender to go 1st overall in the MLB draft. Tonight, he pitched like one.
One night after the bullpen squandered a solid performance by Patrick Raby, surrendering 5 runs in the top of the 9th to lose 10-6, Kyle Wright knew he would have to go deep in this game.
Further, facing Florida sophomore RHP Brady Singer, Wright knew he would have to limit the runs allowed.
In short, he did. Wright rode an A+ slider and a fastball that was clocked at 95mph in the 8th and 94mph in the 8th to a complete game 3H shutout with 13 Ks and 0 BBs.
