He is 4-0 with an ERA of 1.95 with two saves. He’s thrown 32 1/3 innings, allowed nine runs (seven earned), walked eight, hit two batters, issued one intentional walk and struck out 45.

ZACH JARRETT (Class A Delmarva, Md.)

JARRETT

Zach Jarrett — who starred in high school at Hickory and in college at Charlotte – is an outfielder for the Shorebirds (35-32), who beat West Virginia 4-2 on the road Sunday to close the South Atlantic League’s first-half schedule.

On Sunday, Jarrett hit third in Delmarva’s lineup and started in centerfield, going 1-for-4 and striking out twice.

Delmarva finished fourth in the Northern Division standings, five games back of division winner Lakewood (N.J.), 2 ½ games behind third-place West Virginia and four games back of second-place Kannapolis.

In 64 games this season, Jarrett’s batting .313 with 15 doubles, a triple, 10 home runs and 38 RBIs.

Jarrett — who plays Tuesday in Greensboro in the SAL All-Star Game – is 11-for-17 with three runs scored and four RBIs in his last three games. In his last 10 games, he’s hitting .486 with no home runs and nine RBIs.

HUNTER HARVEY (Class AA Bowie, Md.)

HARVEY

Former Bandys High star Hunter Harvey was listed as a probable starter for Bowie in a game at New Hampshire on June 8 (a Friday) but scratched from his 10th start by a non-pitching injury (see details in stories from provided links).

As of Sunday night (June 17), he remained listed as “active” on the Bowie roster.

Bowie (29-37) fell 5-3 at home to Portland (Ore.) on Sunday and finished last in the West Division, 8 ½ games back of division winner Akron (Ohio).

Harvey is on the Baltimore Orioles’ 40-man roster, so if he were to go on the disabled list he would be considered on the major league roster during that time.

His last appearance was June 1 when he made his ninth start of the season. He went two innings, gave up five hits and six runs (all earned), walked one and struck out none with Trenton (N.J.) winning 7-2.

Harvey faced 12 batters and threw strikes on 36 of his 59 pitches but gave up a double, triple and two home runs.

He is 1-2 this season with 32 1/3 innings pitched. He’s allowed 36 hits, 20 (all earned), walked eight and struck out 30. His ERA is 5.57.
