Mitch Keller has put together an amazing season this year, with a 2.35 ERA in 130.1 innings, along with a 138:19 K/BB ratio. He's been our West Virginia Pitcher of the Month three times out of the five months of the minor league season. But he's yet to win the overall monthly award. That is until now. After combining for an 0.83 ERA in 32.2 innings between West Virginia and Bradenton, along with a 38:5 K/BB ratio, Keller is the Pirates Prospects Pitcher of the Month for August.
Keller's month got off to a bit of a slow start, giving up three runs on seven hits in 3.
