Summer Stats
Chris Haddeland is perhaps, one of the best pitchers that you’ve probably never heard of. He put up ridiculous numbers at NAIA Linfield this past spring. He went 15-1 and had a 1.07 era in 126 innings pitched. Both the 15 wins and 126 innings pitched are school records. He arrived in Swift Current with very big expectations. He didn’t disappoint at all.
He went 5-3 this summer and was fourth in the league with a 2.05 era in 61.1 innings pitched. If nothing else, he was a workhorse for the Indians this summer.
He allowed 51 hits, walked just 15 and was tied for fourth in the league with 57 strikeouts this season. He also held the opposition to a .228 batting average this summer.
During the Indians playoff run, he went 2-0 and had a 1.28 era in 14 innings pitched. He also struck out 13 batters during this time.
