The Oakland A's Double-A affiliate has been running through the Texas League this season, and on Saturday night they turned in arguably their best performance of the year
The Midland RockHounds have the best pitching staff in the Texas League and nobody knows it. Perhaps what they did to the Tulsa Drillers, a Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate, on Saturday will open some eyes just like when Mason MIller dominated the Yankees in New York.
Not only was the final score a laugher, but the way that Midland won was the attention grabber. Starter Jack Cushing, a 22nd round selection in 2019, tossed five scoreless innings last night, didn't walk anyone, didn't allow any hits, and struck out six. He needed just 53 pitches, 37 of which were strikes.
In the eighth, Seth Elledge continued the trend with a perfect inning of work. He was signed by the A's just over a week ago after being in the Atlanta Braves system for the second half of last season. In 13 innings pitched this season, Holman has yet to allow a run to cross the plate and he has saved five games. He's allowed ten hits and five walks in those 13 innings, leading to a 1.15 WHIP, and has also struck out 22 batters, giving him a 43.1% strikeout rate. That is the second-highest strikeout rate in the Texas League, behind teammate Pedro Santos' 44%.
