Got hit pretty hard the other day. Gave up 6 runs in 1.2 IP, but only 3 were earned.

His last few starts he's had trouble getting through the early to middle innings. He gave up 2 runs his last start (Monday) but went just 4 IP, with 5 H, 2 BB, and 3 K.

Mooneyham with a gem today. 6 IP 1 H 0 R 2 BB 3 K (Win).

With little Gio shelved for quite awhile and Renda looking like a UTIL guy Mooneyham might be our most promising 2012 draftee to watch next year.

Can Mooneyham go to the AFL?

yup.

Clever · « **Reply #11:** August 27, 2012, 05:49:31 PM »

I imagine he'll split 2013 between Hagerstown and Potomac, maybe if he does well he'll end up at Harrisburg by the end of the season.

zimm_da_kid · « **Reply #12:** September 04, 2012, 11:21:30 PM »

went 6 IP 5 H 2 ER 2 BB 5 K on sept. 1.

Solid way to end his season. still hoping he's the pitcher to be named later on our AFL team.

Impressive. Looks like Hagersburg material.

Starting the opening postseason game tomorrow. All eyeballs from the metropolis of Auburn shall be laid upon him.

Our valiant Brett pitched 5 innings with 2 ER, and two more unearned, but in the end Michael Boyden took the loss as Auburn fell 5-4 to Tri-City.

So anyone have any guesses as to what the ceiling is on this guy?

Nice article on him.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #19:** May 04, 2013, 02:32:59 PM »

Assigned to Hagerstown.

3 starts so far. If you are an ERA guy, you have to love an 0.63 ERA over 14.1 innings. WHIP is below one (.907). So what's the but? 9 BB, 6 Ks.

More serious - is on the 7-day DL after his 4/17 start with arm discomfort, per NJ.

Quote

Mooneyham, 23, is 1-0 and second in the South Atlantic League with a 0.63 ERA in 14 1/3 innings. He has walked nine, struck out six and held hitters to a .089 batting average. At 6 feet 5, repeating his mechanics isn’t easy, but he was two outs away from having a chance at his second win when he asked for a trainer to come to the mound Wednesday.

Mooneyham “had some discomfort in his arm,” Nationals farm director Doug Harris wrote in a text message Wednesday. “We will be assessing the situation over the next few days.”

Harris called it “premature to speculate on specifics.”

He's back at Hagerstown now.

Glockypoo · « **Reply #21:** June 13, 2013, 10:04:26 AM »

Decent outing last night.

5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 k.

monkeyhit · « **Reply #22:** July 28, 2013, 07:45:44 AM »

2 hitter in 8 innings yesterday. Now 6-3, 2.60 ERA, league batting .181 against him.
Needs to move up soon.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #23:** August 02, 2013, 09:10:40 AM »

Another good start

7 IP 4 H 1 ER 1 BB 6 K

7-3 with a 2.48 ERA

BA Hot Sheet today:

Brett Mooneyham, lhp, Nationals: Scouts would still like to see better command out of Mooneyham (witness his 4.5 BB/9), but he’s otherwise performed how a highly-drafted (third round, 2012) college pitcher should in low Class A. The 23-year-old lowered his ERA to 2.48 with a pair of dominant outings this week for Hagerstown, allowing one run in 15 innings of work while racking up a 14-1 strikeout-walk ratio.
