Week of April 7
Professional (April 11-16)
Pete Crow-Armstrong (2014 12U, 2017 15U, 2018 & 2019 18U) notched two three-hit outings, including a 3-for-4, two home run performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 13. Crow-Armstrong proceeded to tally another 3-for-4 going the day after against the San Diego Padres, driving in a run and scoring once. The four-time Team USA alum is currently riding a four-game hit streak going into Wednesday’s contest against the Padres.
Paul Skenes (2014 12U, 2021 & 2022 Collegiate) fired 6.0 quality innings en route to a 10-3 win over the Washington Nationals on April 14. The three-time Team USA alum yielded only three hits and allowed only one earned run in his fourth start of the season and third game pitching 6.0 or more frames.
Sonny Gray (2009 & 2010 CNT) hurled seven shutout innings against Houston on April 14th to pick up his second consecutive win of the year in an 8-3 result. He allowed just three hits and a walk in and struck out four batters in the outing.
Walker Buehler (2014 CNT) went 6.1 innings on the bump on April 10 against Toronto, helping the Red Sox pick up a 4-3 win. He scattered four hits, surrendered one earned run, and fanned seven in the outing. He followed that up with another strong performance five days later, going five complete and giving up two earned runs at Tampa Bay en route to improving to 2-0 on the season.
Three-time USA Baseball alum Hunter Greene (2014 15U, 2015 & 2016 18U) tossed seven frames of two-hit baseball to contribute to the Reds’ 4-0 shutout victory over the Pirates on April 13. Greene was stingy all day on the bump allowing one free pass while striking out eight Pittsburgh batters in his outing. With the win, the Los Angeles, California native moves to 2-1 on the year with a league-leading 0.98 ERA.
Runs were hard to come by for the Phillies in their Friday matchup against the Cardinals on April 11 thanks in large part to St. Louis pitcher Andre Pallante (2018 15U). Pallante was undeniably responsible for the havoc wreaked on Philadelphia’s lineup after he pitched seven innings of clean baseball. The right-hander yielded a mere two hits and two walks while punching out four batters throughout his side’s 2-0 win.
