Frederick Keys News Release
FREDERICK, Md. -The Frederick Keys are excited to announce that Keys relief pitcher, Dennis Torres, has been promoted to the Double-A Bowie Baysox. The former UMass standout becomes the fourth member of the orange and black to get a call-up this season and the third Frederick player to move up in the last four days. This is the 25-year-old's first call-up to Double-A. In addition to Torres, Jarett Miller and Jhonathan Ramos have been promoted to Double-A this year, while Anthony Caronia played three games for Triple-A Norfolk.
In 12 relief appearances for the Keys this season, Torres went 3-1 with one save and a 1.88 ERA. He allowed only five earned runs in 24 innings to go along with 11 walks and 16 strikeouts. Opponents were batting only .202 against him, the fourth-lowest mark for a Carolina League reliever. In eight May appearances he went 2-1 with a 2.35 ERA (15.1 IP/4ER).
Originally selected by the Orioles in the 28th round of the 2012 draft out UMass, Torres went a combined 3-5 with a 3.50 ERA between stops in Frederick and Low-A Delmarva in 2014 and finished fifth among Orioles farmhands in saves (nine). With the Keys he went 2-2 with a 3.66 ERA after being called up right after the All-Star break.
The Frederick Keys begin a seven-game homestand on Wednesday night when the Salem Red Sox come to town at 7:00 p.m. Left-hander Mitch Horacek (3-4, 3.63) makes the start for the Keys and will be opposed by Red Sox righty Denny Bautista (0-0, --). Wednesday is "It's Snow Problem Night" at Nymeo Field and the first 500 fans will receive a Nymeo Field grass seed giveaway. It is also "Stand Together for Kindness Night" presented by the Maryland Governor's Office for Children. For tickets fans can contact the Keys at 301-815-9939 or visit frederickkeys.com.
