MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Michael Brettell has always had the arm, the size, the makeup.

Now, he’s got the numbers.

Brettell, a junior right-hander on the CMU baseball team, is among the hottest pitchers in the Mid-American Conference as he and the Chippewas head into a three-game series this weekend with Toledo.

The native of Fonthill, Ont. Is 3-0 with a 1.14 earned run average in his last three starts. Over those three games, Brettell has logged 23 2/3 innings, allowed 13 hits, struck out 21, and walked just four.
