Might the future of the mighty Sasquatch lie with pitching? Young talents on Seattle's Single-A affiliate, the Bel Air Princes, have tossed a trio of gems this season. Granted, Single-A is a pitchers league (teams average 3.2 runs scored per game), but Bel Air's hurlers have especially impressed.

On April 7, the young Aussie,
Bob Goudie, struck out 14 Stingrays. Born in
Ballarat (a city in the Australian province of Victoria that is known to literature lovers from a Sherlock Holmes story,
The Boscombe Valley Mystery), the 6'7" teenager signed with Seattle this past offseason. The 14 strikeouts came in his first professional game. They also came in only 7 1/3 innings of work. Goudie allowed only two hits, walked no one, and surrendered but a single run. Bel Air won the game, 13-2.
