2018 AppleSox Alum Stainbrook Reflects On Summer With Sox

Troy Stainbrook lit it up as a closer for the AppleSox in 2018. He notched five saves and recorded a 0.54 ERA in nine appearances. His 0.54 ERA in WCL play is the lowest ever by an AppleSox pitcher to have pitched a least 15 innings.

He rode that success with the AppleSox into his senior year at Biola in which recorded a 2.11 ERA and struck out 53 in 41.1 innings. Stainbrook’s dominance on the mound in college led to being drafted by the Washington Nationals in 2019.

Watch his full discussion with Joel Norman below in which he reflects on his time with the AppleSox and discusses what it was liking being drafted and how his professional career has gone so far.
