WVSPORTS.COM Former WVU pitchers Alek Manoah, John Means face off in MLB game
- Thread starter Vernon
- Start date
Manoah got the better end of the first matchup between Mountaineers starting pitchers, striking out 10 and allowing just one run over seven innings. That capped a stellar year in which Manoah led American League rookies in ERA (3.22) and WHIP (1.05) while placing second in strikeouts per nine innings (10.24).
Manoah would live up to the situation, pitching seven innings while allowing only one earned run, one hit, one walk, one hit batter, and ten strikeouts on his way to earning the win before handing off the reigns to Ross Stripling, who finished the game. The 2019 first-round draft pick was dominant on the mound, using his fastball and off-speed pitches well and keeping the Orioles off-balance throughout the entire outing.
