Colorado Springs Sky Sox News Release
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - The Colorado Springs Sky Sox and the Pacific Coast League have announced that Sky Sox starting pitcher Tyler Cravy has been named to the PCL All-Star Team. He joins pitching coach Fred Dabney as the Sky Sox representatives at the First National Bank 2015 Triple-A All-Star Game which will be played at Werner Park in Omaha, NE, home of the Storm Chasers, on Wednesday, July 15 starting at 6:05 PM MDT. The game will be broadcast live on MLB Network.
Cravy, 25, is 7-5 with a 3.79 ERA (33 ER/78.1 IP) and 66 strikeouts in 14 starts so far with the Sky Sox this season. He leads the team and is tied for second in the PCL with 7 wins and leads all Sky Sox pitchers in strikeouts while holding opposing batters to a .241 average.
He had a string of five wins in five consecutive starts from May 15-June 13 that saw him post an ERA of 1.42 (5 ER/31.2 IP).That stretch included a win against the Las Vegas 51s on May 27 that saw him allow a run on five hits over a career-high 8.0 inning pitched. In a win against the Memphis Redbirds on May 5, he allowed a run on three hits over 6.0 innings while also going 1-for-3 at the plate with a solo home run, the first long ball of his professional career.
Cravy made his Major League debut with the Milwaukee Brewers on June 2 against the St. Louis Cardinals, allowing just one run on four hits over 7.0 innings pitched in a 1-0 loss.
Originally drafted by the Brewers in the 17th round of the June 2009 First-Year Player Draft, Cravy entered the 2015 season rated as the No. 24 Prospect in the Brewers organization by Baseball America. He attended Napa Valley College and in 2009 was named the Bay Valley Conference Most Valuable Player after going 8-3 with a 2.99 ERA (30 ER/ 90.1 IP) and 110 strikeouts.
Cravy was the starting pitcher for the North Division at the 2014 Southern League All-Star game after going 8-1 with a 1.72 ERA (14 ER/73.1 IP) and holding opposing batters to a .184 average in 14 games (12 starts) with the Double-A Huntsville Stars. He was promoted to Triple-A Nashville following the All-Star game but suffered a strained oblique muscle in his first start with the team which limited him to just two rehab starts the rest of the season.
