Alex Pham Responds With Strong Outing On Thursday
5 months agoBaltimore Orioles starting pitching prospect Alex Pham posted a great bounce-back performance on Thursday when he tossed six shutout frames. He allowed just one hit and one walk with six strikeouts. Entering this start, Pham carried a hefty 5.51 ERA and 1.90 WHIP across his previous four outings. This was only the second outing this season that the 24-year-old did not allow an earned run. The University of San Francisco product has a difficult season at Double-A with a 5.38 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 73 ⅔ innings. The right-hander posted a significantly better 2.67 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 60 ⅔ innings at Double-A last season, which shows how large of a step back Pham has taken this season. If Pham can continue to get himself settled at Double-A, he should see most of next summer at Triple-A Norfolk.
