FGCU baseball ace\u00a0Michael Murray\u00a0<\/strong>has been named to the 2014 College Baseball Hall of Fame Pitcher of the Year Award watch list in recognition of the stellar start he is off to in his sophomore campaign.<\/p>\n

For a pitcher, there’s not much better than zeros, and several of the 47 pitchers on the first watch list for the 2014 Pitcher of the Year Award feature that magic number in their statistical lines.<\/p>\n

Murray (West Palm Beach, Fla.\/Forrest Hill HS)\u00a0<\/strong>leads the Atlantic Sun with a 1.18 ERA in 83.2 innings on the hill. He has compiled a 10-0 record, making him just the second Eagle in program history to accomplish such a feat along with MLB All-Star and former National Player of the Year, Chris Sale, who holds the single-season FGCU wins record with 11. His 65 strikeouts also lead the A-Sun against 10 walks in 11 starts and his opponents are batting just .211 against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cMike has been great for us,\u201d head coach Dave Tollett added. \u201cTo be mentioned along with Chris Sale shows how hard he has worked to get to where he is at now. These nominations are going to keep coming and there is no one more deserving.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pitcher of the Year Award, sponsored by Diamond, will be presented during the National College Baseball Hall of Fame’s annual Night of Champions on June 28 in Lubbock, Texas.<\/p>\n
