Texas Rangers Minor league pitchers Hans Crouse and Tyler Phillips each made their second start of the season today, and each did a stellar job, allowing no runs in their outings.
Hans Crouse, who is seen as the #1 prospect in the system by Baseball America, followed up a shaky but scoreless Opening Day outing for the Hickory Crawdads with a Hans MFing Crouse start. Crouse needed just 67 pitches to get through 5 scoreless innings, with 1 hit allowed, 0 walks, and 9 strikeouts. The only ball he allowed out of the infield was the one single he gave up.
