Tyler Peyton pro debut

not too shabby

do you happen to know if the des moines register still has a 'box score' for all iowan baseball players in the pro leagues? i think they used to publish all stats on sundays.
 
Not sure. I always liked the "Iowans in the Minors" segment but I think the last time I read it guys like Tom Costo and Todd Sears were playing lol
 
Trying to compile a list
Former Hawks, or players who have Hawkeye ties:

Matt Dermody P TOR Buffalo-AAA 4-0 3.48 20.2 IP 19 K, also pitched a third of an inning in the majors, but we won't talk about it
Blake Hickman P CWS Kannapolis-A looks like he could make his debut this year

Kendall Coleman OF NYY Staten Island-A (SS) *originally signed with Dahm's last class, opted for the pros

Jon Keller was really struggling this year and was sent back to extended spring training. The Cedar Rapids Gazette has stats every Sunday on the local guys and former Hawks.

Blake Hickman got his first start this morning. He has Joel Booker in CF today.

Hickman has thrown 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 2 K's. Not too shabby for his first minor league start. I can't tell what his velocity is though.

62 of 86 pitches for strikes. That's darn good!
