Adopted Josh Hejka

[Farmer Ted]

Keep your hands off my DIII standout from Johns Hopkins, Josh Hejka. That's correct, it's Johns. Not John.

He's a native Michigander and looks like a 12-year old Chris Sabo on the mound. So far, 1.1 innings pitched this season in Appy League Kingsport with 2 Ks and 1 BB. He's got a chance!

I'd like to see you square up on this action

The little guy was sent down for a little more seasoning. What a classy write-up!

Kingsport 5, Burlington 4

Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, features one of the top medical schools in the country.

Kingsport Mets pitcher Josh Hejka went there and maybe that’s why he works with the precision of a surgeon on the mound.

Hejka pitched a scoreless ninth inning to notch his third save as the Mets eked out a win over the Burlington Royals

Hejka has yet to allow an earned run in 8 1/3 innings pitched for Kingsport and also logged 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the Brooklyn Cyclones of the short-season advanced New York-Penn League.

Junior got his first MiLB win the other day in relief for the Clones. 13Ks in 10.2 innings this season. ERA of 0.00. He's the most awesome-est ever!!

[Farmer Ted]

Little guy was a monster with his sidearmed stuff this season.

2-0, 4 for 4 in save opps.
1.33 ERA
1.08 WHIP
20.1 IP
24 K, 5 BB
.210 opposing ACG

Little Josh is moving up to Bingo next year, for sure.

[Farmer Ted]

Little guy still getting innings after all these years. Spot relief in Brooklyn this season. We've all had spot relief in Brooklyn at some point.

Got a taste of upstate with Bingo to Syracuse in 2022 but threw the limb out resulting in TJ surgery. Make the comeback kid!

That's my Johns Hopkins learning, sidearm heaving, rec spec wearing future hall of famer. Slow and steady wins the race.

Really interesting about the use of science. But i think using a device to track usage is a bit extreme.
Thanks.
