Just because he hasn't gotten the media attention he deserves doesn't mean that Tyler Cravy isn't one of the most elite athletes to have called the Napa Valley home recently.
The ex-Napa Valley College pitching sensation is Tyler Cravy struck out 12 in five innings of relief work for the Class A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers as he continues his climb through the Milwaukee Brewers' organization. Cravy fanned a dozen in a 9-2 win over the Idaho Falls Chukars.
Cravy is 3-2 with a 5.75 ERA for the Timber Rattlers after being promoted from the rookie level Pioneer League in May. Cravy has 29 strikeouts and 16 walks in 20 Class A innings pitched. He fanned 29 and walked just six in 21 innings of work in the Pioneer League in Helena, Montana.
Cravy, who flew under the radar for a lackluster NVC baseball program, was drafted in the 17th round of the 2009 Major League Baseball draft. He was 6-6 with a 5.87 ERA in 15 games for Helena in the Pioneer league in 2010. He whiffed 70 and walked 28 in 76 innings.
** Tim Stegall, who also has Napa Valley baseball ties, has apparently been released by the Texas Rangers. He was signed as a free agent in 2009, but is not mentioned on the www.web.minorleaguebaseball.com site that chronicles the exploits of every minor leaguer.
