Newark Bears News Release
NEWARK, N. J. -- The Newark Bears have come to terms with right-handed pitchers Tim Keinath and Kevin Perrucci, Bears Vice President/General Manager Chris Bryan announced today. The two join a group of eight who signed with the Atlantic League's defending champions last week.
"Both Tim and Kevin are young arms who should bolster our pitching staff," Bryan said. "Both of them are hungry and will add a lot of our corps of pitchers."
Signed as an undrafted free agent by Tampa Bay following a standout career at C.W. Post, Keinath spent his first season in the professional ranks with Devil Ray affiliates Princeton and Hudson Valley, appearing in 21 games out of the bullpen. He logged 34 1/3 innings all told, striking out 28 and walking 11. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound resident of Westbury, N.Y. will turn 24 on April 13 just days before Newark heads to Homestead, Fla. for Spring Training.
A Long Islander as well, Perrucci went 2-2 for Newark last season, appearing in 14 games while making nine starts. He struck out 18 batters and compiled a 5.40 ERA. A resident of Levittown, N.Y. the 22-year old played his college baseball at Division I New York Tech.
