As the summer rolls on so does our Rebel in the Pros series featuring our baseball guys, Shakira Austin and other former Rebs. Speaking of rolling on, our first player this week is doing just that.
Doug Nikhazy
Doug tied his Minor League career high with 6.2 innings pitched last time out while striking out a career high 11 batters for the Lake County Captains.
#Guardians 22yr old LHP prospect Doug Nikhazy was one out & one strike away from a 7.0 inning no-hitter for Lake County! Nikhazy ended up going 6.2 innings striking out a career high 11 batters.

Nikhazy may be due a call up to AA soon has he has 37 strikeouts over his last 28 innings and is starting figure things out.
Shakira Austin
The WNBA entered into their All Star break over the weekend so Austin has only taken the court once since last week. She had 6 points, 8 rebounds and a block in 21 minutes of play during a Mystics win over the Los Angeles Sparks.
Braden Thornberry
Braden participated in the RBC Canadian Open this past weekend but failed to make the cut after posting a +4 through the first two rounds. He had 6 birdies between the two rounds, more than I have made in my entire life.
Lance Lynn
So this happened since the last post:

#1 in our hearts Lance. Never change. But what he should change is how he is pitching. The vet has given up 13 runs in 9 innings over his last two starts. But go on and strut big guy.

Fun fact of the week: Colby Bortles is a volunteer assistant coach for the ECU Pirates baseball program, working with outfielders and hitters. But let’s be honest, the most fun thing in all of this is learning the team names of the minor league affiliates.
