The Keepers - #40 - RP - Jake Goldberg




40. Jake Goldberg – RP – A+ - 24/yrs.

Goldberg was drafted by the New York Mets in the 36th round of the 2008 draft.
From www.cofcsports.com: - 2007 - Appeared in 17 games ... made seven starts ... had one complete game ... 6-1 with a 3.72 ERA ... 82.1 innings pitched ... 88 hits ... 45 runs ... 34 earned runs ... 26 walks ... 49 strikeouts ... opponents hit .270 ... 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in six SoCon assignments ... pitched a complete-game, five-hitter in Charleston's 7-0 win over The Citadel with five strikeouts ... allowed two runs over eight innings with four strikeouts against Charleston Southern ... had a career-high eight strikeouts against Davidson ...

Goldberg pitched the 2008 season for the GCL Mets, going 1-4, 7.52, 1.82 in 12 appearances (1 start). He had 29 Ks in 28.1 IP.

In 2009, Goldberg split time between Brooklyn (0-0, 1.93, in six appearances, 11-K, 9.1-IP) and Savannah (1-2, 2.89, 25 appearances, 27-K, 37.1-IP).

Forecast:

Goldberg put together a very nice season in 2009. He helped Brooklyn in their playoff run and cominated for Savannah. It’s far too early to project him, but I look for him tobe an important part of the St. Lucie bullpen.

  1. At the risk of being politically incorrect, and not wanting to assume anything, would you know if this guy is Jewish? I host a blog on Jews and sports and would be happy to add another to the ranks of pro players.

    Thanks,
