All articles regarding Scott Sitz
The Mat-Su Miners, and the Alaska League in general, has had great success bringing up Florida kids this year, the least of which is valley hurler Scott Sitz straight out of Jax Beach. Sitz did his freshman season at Florida State this year, splitting his time between the starting rotation and the relief corps (six starts in 17 appearances). Sitz held opposing batters to a .207 average in Division I play for the Seminoles before coming up to Alaska.
Since heading north for the Miners, Sitz has been even more stellar. The rightie has posted a 2.74 ERA and has been even stingier with his BAA, dropping it down to .160. The highlight of his season was quite possibly the complete game no-hitter he threw -- one measly walk away from a perfect game, no less -- at the Scout's Showcase in Anchorage against the Fire. That was definitely one of my most memorable experiences at a baseball game, that's for sure.
There's a lot to like about Sitz, which is impressive considering he's just a freshman. He's come into this league and taken to it like a fish to water, and even though it's a pitcher's league, that's still pretty good. I really like Sitz' velocity, dialing it up to 90 and honing it in about 89 MPH. And he's got the endurance to go the distance, as he demonstrated at the showcase.
As Sitz and the Miners charge down the stretch, battling all-out for the ABL title, we'll keep you updated on Scott's progress, as well as all the other players & teams of the Alaska League. I've got a great scouting video done for Sitz, so if you're a fan, keep checking out his player tag.
