Mini-Moose is your FSL Pitcher of the Week:
Florida State League
Ian Kennedy, Tampa
2-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 G, 2 GS, 13.2 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 20 SO
Kennedy, the Yankees’ first-round draft choice in 2006, was dominant in each of his two starts this week. The USC product struck out 11 over 6 2/3 scoreless innings against Dunedin on Tuesday and followed that up by whiffing nine over seven shutout frames in Jupiter on Sunday. Kennedy’s 1.24 ERA is the league’s best, and his five wins are tied for the most in the circuit.
Cool part is he hasn’t even been the Yanks best pitcher in the minors…Â
