The Keepers - #65 - RP - Lance Hoge




65. Lance Hoge – RP/SP – low-A/A – 23/yrs.

Hoge was an unheralded 36th round pick in 2009 by the Mets. He pitched for Kansas State, where his numbers alone didn’t warrant the pick: 16 games, 15 starts, 6-4, 4.54 ERA, 71.1 IP, 82 H, 22 BB, 46 K, 7 HR.


From: http://www.themercury.com/k-statesports/article.aspx?articleId=b634c6b0e2dd43dca9307fd2ba663832: - "Justin Bloxom, Drew Biery, Jordan, Rob Vaughn, Dane Yelovich — I hope they all get a look," Hill said. "Also (pitcher) Lance Hoge — he's a left-hander and they are at a premium, so I wouldn't rule him out. It only takes one guy getting seen on the right day. You never know how high some guys can go

From: http://www.withthefirstpick.net/draft-report-cards-nl-east?a=1&c=1153&mode=print The Mets best pick might be Kansas State lefty Lance Hoge (36th round), who commands two decent pitches, but that says more about the Mets pathetic draft than it does about Hoge

Hoge pitched 2009 for both Brooklyn (1-0, 2.52, in 10 appearances) and Savannah (0-2, 4.50 in 5 games, 3 starts). His combined stats were: 1-2, 3.29, 33-K, 6-BB, 41.0-IP

Forecast: Good start for Hoge, who should wind up in Savannah for the beginning of the 2010 season.
