Collins Cuthrell's first season in pro baseball playing in an independent league trying to impress any major league team to sign him is over. Saturday he broke his arm and has been put on the Florence Kentucky Freedom's 60 day disabled list. Since the baseball season in the minors ends Labor Day weekend just two weeks from now his season is over.
Out of action Cuthrell needed some team to show interest in him and send him to fall ball but now unable to play no team will be willing to sign him. More than likely he will probably have to start out again next season again in the Frontier League and hope he has a good enough season to attract interest.
Not sure exactly how the injury happened but in Saturday's game box score he only batted twice in the game and was hit once by a pitch. He finishes his first season having batted 210 times in 58 games and played mostly in the outfield and batted 271. He ledthe team with nine home runs, had two triples and 12 doubles. He led the team in base on balls with 49.
Hobbs Johnson Has started 22 times pitching in Biloxi Mississippi for his major league team the Milwaukee Brewers and has a record of 7-6 with and ERA of 3:38. He has pitched 112 innings with one complete game. He had struck out 92 batters .
Benton Moss on the verge of wrapping up his first summer in pro baseball is 2-2 pitching in Hudson Valley just north of New York City and south of Albany NY. He has tossed 43 plus innings with a 2.27 ERA which is excellent. He has pitched in 11 games starting 7 striking 48 and has walked only 10. I have a feeling Benton will start next season in the upper A level next season.
Brian Goodwin has had a struggle all year. He started the year coming off major shoulder surgery last season and started out in AA Harrisburg and what was suppose to happen as he got more and more playing time and his average shot up the Washington National wanted to send him back to AAA Syracuse but his batting average has never risen to AAA caliber and as the season comes to and end he remains mired in Harrisburg PA.
He is hitting 228 having clubbed 7 home runs four triples which is tied for the team lead and 13 doubles. He has struck out 80 times in his 358 at bats which for a lead off hitter is not getting the job done.

Collins had successful surgery this week and will stay in Florence for the remainder of their season, then will head back to Pembroke to continue graduate school and assist with the baseball team.
