For Starters...
Jeremy Gooding makes his Freedom debut tonight after being acquired in a trade from the Grand Prairie Air Hogs this week. The 24 year old went to school at Madonna University in Michigan. He made his professional debut in 2014 with the Fort Worth Cats of the United League. He also pitched with Amarillo of the American Association in 2014 and compiled a record of 2-2 with a 1.62 ERA in 8 starts between the two organizations. He struck out 56 batters in 55.2 innings and tossed two complete games with one shutout. So far in 2015, Gooding has only made one start, for Fargo-Moorhead of the American Association, giving up four runs in two and two thirds innings in a loss.
