Mitch Neunborn Delivers Five No-Hit Innings
1 year agoPhiladelphia Phillies minor league pitcher Mitch Neunborn, a native of Johannesburg, South Africa, signed with the organization a couple of weeks before his 26th birthday back in June. That signing represented the first MLB-affiliated deal for Neunborn, and while being 26 in High-A can be a deterrent in the bigger picture, the right-hander has certainly made an impact through his first 15 outings. During his start last Thursday, Neunborn tossed five no-hit innings, holding opponents to just one walk and zero runs. He also tallied an impressive 10 strikeouts en route to earning the win. Perhaps the Phillies made an under-the-radar signing in Neunborn, who could be a future contributor at the big-league level.
