Traverse City Beach Bums News Release
The Traverse City Beach Bums are excited to announce that Shelby Township native Jake Sabol will be back in a Beach Bums uniform in 2013.
Sabol was a key addition for Traverse City down the stretch last season going 2-0 with a 0.71ERA allowing just one run in 12.2 innings over six appearances. He walked two and struck out eight. Making an immediate impact, Sabol earned the victory in just his second outing with Traverse City pitching 1.1 scoreless innings of relief in an 8-7 Beach Bums comeback victory at Evansville on August 9.
The right-hander also notched his first professional save on August 29 with 3.1 sparkling innings against Gateway in a game that locked down the top seed in the Frontier League playoffs for Traverse City.
Sabol joined the Beach Bums following a two-year stint in the Tigers organization. The 36th round selection by Detroit in the 2011 draft, Sabol went 3-3 with a 3.43 ERA for the GCL Tigers that same season.
The 24-year old was drafted following a four-year career with Central Michigan University where he went 5-3 as a senior in 2011. Overall, Sabol recorded a 9-8 record and a 5.18 ERA in 52 games (23 starts) for the Chippewas. He notched four complete games with two shutouts over his career and walked just 39 batters in 173 innings, an average of 2.03 BB/9IP.
The Beach Bums would like to thank all their fans who came through the gates at Wuerfel Park this season for making 2012 such a success and helping the Beach Bums win the Frontier League Organization of the Year Award.
