Wilhelmsen for 5 SP
Spec sez,
You're forgetting one [in your rookie rundown] ... Tom Wilhelmsen, take two
7 G, 12.1 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 0 HR, 4 BB, 14 K
2.92 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 0.0 HR/9, 2.92 BB/9, 10.22 K/9
He didn't make the highlights, so I don't know what he looked like, but Gameday sez:
97, 95, 81, 97 (1 out)
96, 79, 96, 81 (2 outs)
97, 80, 96, 81, 98, 97, 97 (3 outs)
Ruffin and Lueke have been 93-95 while Wilhelmsen has been 95-97.
Didn't make the highlights, eh ... Dr. D and Mrs. D had the pleasure of watching Mr. Martini live with a monitor in line of sight, and GameDay did not do him justice ...
Wilhelmsen was 96-97 standin' still, and this time when he came back with the 81 hook they just watched it go by. For a few batters, he was Josh Beckett. They were utterly locked up on anything offspeed. (GameDay shows one called strike on the yakker, but there were two others that froze the batters and the ump didn't call the strikes.)
