The following is a press release from the Princeton Rays:
Two members of the 2012 Princeton Rays gathered high honors as part of
the most recent issue of Baseball America magazine (dated October 2-16,
2012) by being named to the publication's "2012 All-Rookie League Team."
The players were part of a "best of" team recognized by the magazine
from those playing in professional baseball's four rookie leagues:
Arizona League, Appalachian League, Gulf Coast League, and Pioneer
League.
Princeton left-handed starting pitcher Blake Snell was named as a
starting pitcher and righty reliever Nick Sawyer was named as the only
reliever.
Snell, who was also named "Pitcher of the Year" in the Appalachian
League this season, recorded a 5-1 mark to go along with a low 2.09
earned run average. He struck out 53 hitters in 47 innings of work
while Appy League hitters were only able to muster a .202 batting
average against him.
Sawyer, who started the season in the Gulf Coast League before being
promoted to Princeton, was basically untouchable at the rookie level,
yielding a microscopic earned run average of 0.31 while striking out 56
hitters in only 29 innings of work. Opposing hitters could only touch
Sawyer for a .095 batting average. After the conclusion of the P-Rays'
season, Sawyer was furthered advanced by the Tampa Bay Rays' to pitch
for their full-season A affiliate, the Bowling Green Hot Rods of the
Midwest League.
Only one other player from the Appalachian League, outfielder Max Kepler
of the Elizabethton Twins, represented the league on this team.
A former 2011 P-Rays' pitcher, right-hander Jeff Ames, was also named by
the magazine to their "2012 All-Short Season-A Team," which includes
players from the New York-Penn League and the Northwest League. Ames,
playing this season for the Hudson Valley (NY) Renegades of the New
York-Penn League, logged a 6-1 record with a 2.10 earned run average and
70 strikeouts in 64 innings of work. Hitters only being able to
compile a .191 batting average versus Ames on the season was one of the
key factors in the Renegades winning the 2012 New York-Penn League
Championship.
Baseball America magazine, published in Durham, NC, is considered to be
the number one informational publication for all things involving minor
league baseball.
