A Waverider in Control….

        

    ‘Apeman’

The #1 Pick of the Owen Sound Waveriders in the inaugural draft was Tate ‘Ape’ Crosby.  The 5-1 Crosby has helped propel the 21-19  Waveriders close enough to the Thunder Bay Caribou to catch their attention, now just 4 games back.  Tate has a fine ERA of 3.40 and his K rate of 39 in 45 IP is better than average, too.  So, what makes this RHP stand out from the rest?  Control.  Crosby has just 3 free passes all season which translates to a WHIP of 0.93.

All eyes are on the ‘The Apeman’s’ recovery as he was pulled in the 2nd inning of his last outing with a sore shoulder.  A club spokesperson has listed him as day to day.
