Ávila Brilliant, Fans 15 Thursday, August 21st , 2025 Everything was working for Juan Ávila at Pittsburgh Pirates Complex. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 21-year-old Ávila fanned 15 Rangers 2 and sparked the 10-1 Seattle (DSL) Mariners victory over Texas 2 (DSL). He left Rangers 2 hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Seattle (DSL) manager Ruben Escalera. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 9 innings, Ávila allowed 8 hits and no walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Ávila said with a smile. Over the season Ávila has thrown 81.1 innings and dished out 110 strikeouts with a 4-5 mark and a 3.43 ERA. View Boxscore |
