Corey Oswalt of the Double-A Binghamton Rumble Ponies was selected as the Eastern League Pitcher of the Year for 2017. Oswalt helped guide Binghamton to a playoff spot and an 82-54 record with four games left. Binghamton will take on Trenton in the divisional round of the playoffs.
This is a mark of the steady progress he has made throughout his professional career to date. The 23-year old San Diego native did not have much experience on the mound when the Mets drafted him in 2012.
Oswalt doesn’t have overpowering stuff, but has put together his best season as a pro in 2017.
