Lakeland, FL – Lakeland Flying Tigers starting pitcher Matt Hall has been named Florida State League (FSL) Player of the Month for June by Minor League Baseball.
Hall did not allow an earned run in 25.2 innings in June, as he held opponents to a .169 average and walked just six while striking out 31. Hall was 3-0 in June and allowed only 15 hits during his four outings, with just three of the hits going for extra bases (two doubles and a homer).
Hall’s best start came on June 28 against the Daytona Tortugas at Radiology Associates Field at Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona. He earned the victory after retiring the first 23 batters he faced and not allowing a baserunner until a single with two outs in the bottom of the 8th inning broke up the perfect game. Hall ended up firing 8.1 shutout innings while allowing only two hits and striking out eleven batters.
This is Hall’s third professional season. He was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the sixth round of the June 2015 draft. Hall, 23, currently ranks as the #17 prospect in the Tigers organization by MLB.com.
