He was better known to the baseball cognoscenti of Venezuela. He’s no secret to hitters or other teams: Petit is overpowering the South Atlantic League hitters with the Capital City Bombers in 2004.
The 19-year-old has an outstanding 8-1 record with a 2.14 ERA in 71.1 innings pitched. Demonstrating his Maddux-like control, Petit has already punched-out 101 batters while giving up only 20 walks. No surprise from one of the better Venezuelan players. They usually meet stiffer competition and major league talent in their leagues in the off season.
Yusmeiro was recently selected to pitch in the South Atlantic League All-Star Game, which will be played in Charleston, SC later this month.
We expect to see him in many more all star games in the years to come. If he keeps pitching at this pace, he should move up to the Double-A before the end of the season. He’s a fast track player who enters the MLN FAB50 at number thirty-three.
