I need to brag for a bit-so bear with me. Today is an emotional day as has been the past several. My oldest son Kyle has played baseball for the past 18 years. This past week he played his last College game and ended an outstanding career. He was a 4 year varsity starter in HS. 2 time 1st Team All District Pitcher, Jr year District Defensive MVP, Sr year District MVP. He pitched 2 years at Wharton County Junior College and was a starter and 2nd Team All Academic. He has played the past 3 years at Prairie View A&M. He was the teams Most Valuable Pitcher in 2019. He was 2nd Team All Black Nines HBCU in 2020. In his final season at PV he had the following conference stats:
Made 8 Conference Starts
2.22 era (1st in the SWAC)
4 wins 2 losses (Tied for 4th in the SWAC in both wins and losses)
65 innings pitched (4th in the SWAC and was missing a full game due to COVID, average of 8 innings per game First in the SWAC)
3 Complete Games (2nd in the SWAC)
53ks (8th in the SWAC)
15bb (4th in the SWAC)
21 total runs allowed (Tied for 1st in the SWAC)
16 earned runs (3rd in the SWAC
Never missed a start. Averaged 120 pitches per outing, 150 plus in one game.
Finished his career at the SWAC Conference Tournament with a Complete Game 2 hit shutout with 10ks.
Kyle graduated last year with his Bachelors, and is 15 hours from finishing his Masters.
At this point I am not sure how to feel. It is surreal that it is over. It kind of seems like a flash. I am so proud of Kyle and what he has accomplished.
The action pic is the final pitch he threw in his last game as a college pitcher. It went for a strike out. What a way to end an awesome career!!!
