A pair of free agent pitchers made strong debuts for Danville Saturday:
RHP Matt Hartman, who signed July 31 out of NAIA school Westmont College, threw four shutout innings in his debut, just four days after his signing, allowing only one hit, one walk while striking out four. Standing 6-3, Hartman previously pitched for the University of Arizona. He did not get the decision in the Danville victory.
Saving that win was another pitcher making his pro debut for Danville, Mason McReaken, who worked a perfect eighth with a strikeout. Also a right-hander, McReaken pitched for SUIE (that's Southern Illinois, Edwardsville, to the uninitiated), where he was a relief specialist who posted six saves this past college season. Definitely not in the mold of a big, strong flame-thrower, McReaken is just 5-10, 175 and appears to be a ground ball speciaiist. Congrats to the two newest Braves.
