| Alec Bettinger |
Alec Bettinger is the newest of the Swamp Bats,
joining the team July 2nd after helping the Virginia Cavaliers to the
College World Series. In his first season at Charlottesville, the freshman from
Woodbridge, Virginia, went 6-0 with a 1.23 ERA.
Alec took the loss in last night’s game v the Valley
Blue Sox, giving up two earned runs in 5 innings, three hits, three strikeouts and
3 walks. In three games with Keene, Bettinger is 1-1 with an ERA of 2.19. He’s
faced 54 batters, striking out 13. And he is his own worst critic. “I’m working on my breaking pitches. I
didn’t have too much success with those till the end of the year and I am up
here to work on that,” he says.
When not working on his craft, Alec has done some
exploring. “It’s beautiful; there are a
lot of outdoor things to do. I have been fishing with Connor Jones and Jack
Roberts, we fish for bass and pumpkin seed blue gill. “
He and his Virginia teammate, Rob Coman are the
summer guests of Phil and Debbie Stromgren. The Stromgrens make it a habit of
visiting campus to get acquainted with their guests. “It’s awesome, I love it there,” he says.
