The Astros haven't signed the top collegiate pitcher they selected in last month's draft. However, the next three pitchers they picked out of college have settled into the Tri-City rotation quite nicely. With third round pick Jack Armstrong pitching in the Cape Cod League, Nick Tropeano (5th Round), Jonas Dufek (9th Round), and Kyle Hallock (11th Round) have started 14 of the Valley Cats' 24 games to this point in the season.
Nick Tropeano, 20, RHP. Tropeano joined the Houston organization out of SUNY-Stony Brook. He has made four professional starts, posting a 3.18 ERA in 17 innings pitched. He is slated to make his fifth start tonight in Batavia.
Jonas Dufek, 23, RHP. From Creighton, Dufek will enter his next start with a scoreless streak of 14 1/3 innings. In five starts, he has a 2.92 ERA in 24 2/3 IP.
Kyle Hallock, 22, LHP. Hallock, out of Kent St., has the lowest ERA of the trio, 1.86 in five professional starts. He has 29 strikeouts in 29 innings.
