TD's Top Prospects-#15 Pitcher

Posted by Lionel on May 23, 2009.

Billy Muldowney

Rank: #15 Pitcher (TD)

Age: 24

Position(s): SP

'08 Team(s): Peoria, Daytona

Acquired: Drafted in 8th Round (2006)

'08 Key Composite Stats: 18 starts, 6-3 record , 2.85 ERA, 1.02 WHIP

Breakdown: After making 7 starts at Peoria with a 2.61 ERA with a 0.87 WHIP, the righthander was promoted to Daytona. While his domination didn't continue, he was still very solid for the D-Cubs, going 5-3 with an ERA just south of 3. Muldowney's overall 1.02 WHIP ranked 6th in the organization and was based on a solid combination of not allowing hits and not walking a lot (instead of one dominating stat). The only concerns about Muldowney in '08 were his innings pitched (he averaged only 4.74 per start) and his HR's allowed. He gave up 9 HR's in 85.1 innings pitched, or almost 1 per 9 IP. He's already 24, which discounts his impressive season just a bit.
