CD, here is an update on Gordon and Arthyr Freeman in the South Island Supreme League.
They both play for the Moon Valley Dreamers... bad news for Gordon Freeman... he had a terrible spring and did not make the roster for the new 1958 season... he was 2-4 as their primary starter with a 7.33 ERA... he struck out 41 batters and walked 26 in 56 innings... he surrendered 10 homers... in his first season last year Gordon had a decent year with a 4-1 record and a pretty good 3.61 ERA, striking out 37 in 42 innings with 16 walks... he gave up 4 homers and 44 base hits... not much of a hitter... Gordon only batted .209 with 9 hits in 43 AB... scored 4 times, but had no ribbies... he got 8 walks and stole 5 bases in 8 tries.
He is on the reserve roster now... just 19 years old... should Moon Valley need a pitcher, I will give him another shot during the season... and next year he will go to Spring Training and get a chance to win a spot in the rotation again.
Arthyr Freeman really thrived in right field with a standout .438 BA with 2 doubles and 5 homers in 18 games with 11 RBIs and 11 runs scored... he stole one base, but got caught 4 times.
At age 20, Arthyr batted .231 last season in the 12-game South Island Supreme League... he went 9 for 39 with 1 double and 2 homers, 8 RBIs and 6 runs scored... stole one base... and played fair defense in RF (.943 FA)... he also got one relief appearance on the mound and did not do well... he allowed 2 homers, walked 4, fanned 4 and gave up 4 runs in 4 innings... 3 of the runs were not earned.
