Jeremy Hall (GF '04) Named Appy League Pitcher of Week

Jeremy Hall (Glens Falls '04) has been selected as the Appalachian League "Pitcher of the Week," for the week ending August 12. Hall pitches for the Princeton Devil Rays.

Last week, Hall threw 13 shutout innings in two starts and fanned 14 batters. The worst news of the week for Hall was a pair of no decisions. He allowed just nine hits and walked only one. Last Monday, the former Glens Falls hurler blanked Danville with a four-hit shutout through six innings and struck out eight. Princeton won the game, 7-6. This past Saturday, Hall tossed seven scoreless frames against Johnson City, allowed five hits and struck out six.

This season, Hall is 3-1 with a 1.46 ERA in 10 starts. He has 47 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings pitched.

In 2004, the Gray, Tenn., native was a second team NYCBL all-star with the Glens Falls Golden Eagles. He helped the Golden Eagles to a 31-10 record and the franchise's first Eastern Division regular season championship.

During the spring of 2006, Hall, pitching for East Tennesee State, suffered a college-career ending eye injury. He was selected by the Florida Marlins in the 27th round (815th overall) of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft but never signed. This spring, Hall signed a free-agent contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Prior to reporting to Princeton (WV), he spent three months at extended spring training.
