Bringing Brett Back



Brett Bostelman, who made the adjustment from reliever to starter in 2008, will be back with the team this summer...

Bostelman will be an LS-1 in 2009 and will begin his third season with the team...Originally signed following an open tryout in 2007, Bostelman tied for the team lead in starts and was one of the most consistent pitchers on the starting staff in 2008 after leading the team in appearances as a true rookie setup man in 2007...He becomes the third starter to return from the best statistical staff in the Frontier League and joins four relievers to bring the total of returning pitchers to seven...Bostelman finished 6-5 to go along with an ERA of 3.81 in 106.1 innings...

Bostelman posted four starts of eight innings or more and threw a complete game shutout at Wuerfel Park on July 6, blanking the Midwest Sliders 4-0 while allowing just six hits...He was 5-3 at Wuerfel Park...Bostleman's first pro start came at Washington on May 25...Victimized at times by a high walk total (45) which limited his innings, Bostleman allowed three runs or less in 12 of his 19 starts and posted a 23.1 inning scoreless stretch in July...
