Thomas Hatch has had himself a month. The former Oklahoma State ace is now a starting pitcher for the Chicago Cubs’ Class A-Advanced affiliate, Myrtle Beach Pelicans.
On Saturday, the organization announced that the 2016 third-round pick was named their Minor League Pitcher of the Month.
Hatch went 3-2 with a 0.98 ERA in the month of June for the Pelicans, ceding just three earned runs in 27.2 innings.
