Florence, Kentucky: Florence's Starting Pitcher Corey Thurman was signed by the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. He is being assigned to the Brewer's AA affiliate in Huntsville, Alabama.
Thurman went 2-3 with a 4.38 ERA. He started out rough when getting signed in August fresh off of shoulder surgery, but he settled down dominating his last 3 starts. Thurman also struck out 38 batters in 37 innings of work.
Corey is a former Major League player, the first former MLB player to play in the Frontier League. Thurman pitched for Toronto, until injuring his shoulder. Thurman is the 4th player in Freedom history to be signed by a Major League team. (Kevin Rival, Steve Pickerall, James Morrison are the other 3, all occuring in 2004) Good luck to Corey.
