Wrapping a decent season at Harrisburg after getting promoted from Potomac:

4 starts at Harrisburg and 32 relief appearances: 3.16 ERA, 1.30 WHIP in 74 IPs.  58Ks, 30 walks, 66 hits.  Not bad for a 28th round pick.  Definitely needs to get the WHIP down though.

Lock this, he retired early into the 2015 season.
