HARVEY
HUNTER HARVEY
(Class AA Bowie, Md.)
Former Bandys High star Hunter Harvey, a right-hander sidelined since early June by an injury, has now been sidelined with discomfort in his right (pitching elbow).
The Baltimore Sun (see link below) has reported testing revealed no structural damage to Harvey’s pitching arm, but there’s been no official indication when Harvey might next pitch for the Baysox. It could come later in the fall.
His latest injury came after he injured his shoulder while trying to maneuver away from a foul ball into the dugout on a day he was not pitching.
When he twisted to avoid being struck by the ball, his right shoulder popped out of socket.
He was scratched from his 10th start (June 8).
Harvey is 1-2 with 32 1/3 innings pitched. He’s allowed 36 hits, 20 runs (all earned), walked eight and struck out 30. His ERA is 5.57.
Bowie finished last in the first-half West Division of the Eastern League, 8 ½ games back of division winner Akron (Ohio).
The Baysox hammered visiting Altoona (Pa.) 17-6 on Monday to finish 67-71 in the Eastern League.
Bowie did not earn a postseason bid.
