The Keepers - #23 - LHRP - Alex Panteliodis


23. Alex Panteliodis     LHP


University of Florida sophomore Alex Panteliodis (Tampa, Fla.) was named to the Primetime Performer Weekly Honor Roll produced by CollegeBaseball360.com on Tuesday. The left-hander kept No. 10 Miami hitless into the fifth inning and registered a career-high eight strikeouts as the Gators claimed the series opener last Friday in Coral Gables. Making his initial start of the season, Panteliodis (3-0) gave up two hits over 5.2 innings and was supported by an offense that plated four runs in the third and three in the eighth. In three appearances this year, Panteliodis has notched three victories and registered a 1.93 earned run average. The southpaw has totaled 12 strikeouts, issued three walks and limited opponents to a .172 clip in 9.1 innings. - http://www.gatorzone.com/story.php?id=17693
 

Tampa Alonso alum Alex Panteliodis (5-2) scattered five hits and registered five strikeouts in 5.1 scoreless innings to help No. 3 seed Florida to a 5-0 victory over fourth-seeded Vanderbilt today - earning the Gators their first SEC Tournament Championship since 1991. “Alex (Panteliodis) gave us a great start,” head coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “We knew going into this one that we’d have to pitch well. If we had to go to the bullpen early in this game, we were probably going to find ourselves in some trouble. AP just did an outstanding job.” - http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/gators/content/tampas-alex-panteliodis-leads-florida-baseball-team-sec-tournament-title 

Alex Panteliodis led the Gators with 11 wins, 84 strikeouts and 100 innings pitched last season, and he did it all with a bad hip. Panteliodis felt pain before the start of last season but couldn’t identify the injury or its extent. As the discomfort got worse, the junior got better on the mound. He just kept playing through it and applied heat to keep it loose and minimize the pain. Doctors found a bump growing on his bone that would fray his labrum whenever he rotated his hip. - http://www.alligator.org/sports/baseball/article_1378b0a6-3e43-11e0-9219-001cc4c03286.htm
