Brockton, Mass. - With six games remaining in the regular season, the Brockton Rox continue to add to their pitching staff, signing righthanded pitcher Jon Plefka on Monday.

Previously, Plefka spent the 2010 campaign with St. Paul of the American Association, which wrapped up its regular season on Sunday. In 43 relief appearances with the Saints, the Hartford, Conn., native went 6-1 with a 2.65 ERA, striking out 55 hitters in 57.2 innings of work.

Prior to St. Paul, the 26-year-old played in 2009 with Bridgeport of the Atlantic League, where he limited opposing hitters to a .237 average while putting together a 5-4 record and a 3.26 ERA. A 46th-round pick of the Los Angeles Angels in the 2006 draft out of Texas Tech University, he played at the rookie level in the Angels' system in 2007 and 2008. The 6-foot-9, 245-pounder also played basketball at Texas Tech under coach Bobby Knight, averaging 19 minutes and 6.6 points per game as a senior in 2006-2007.
