The Sussex County Miners are proud to announce that the Detroit Tigers organization has purchased the contract of pitcher Matt Stil.
The 6 ¬Â² 3 ¬Â³ right-handed closer (2-2, 3.85 ERA) from Marlton, NJ, was electric this season, striking out 42 in 28 innings pitched and yielding only seven walks in his 19 Frontier League appearances.
