In other words, he's pitching really well in relief after having never done it before. That's surprising.

Joey DeNato, a 19th round selection by the Philadelphia Phillies organization in the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft, recently returned "home" for IU baseball's Alumni Game in October and sat down with IUHoosiers.com. A San Diego, Calif., native, DeNato is Indiana's all-time career leader in wins (37), strikeouts (297) and innings pitched (369.1).

 

IU's single-season record holder in innings pitched (109.1) and wins (13) in 2014, DeNato was part of IU's rise to national prominence.

 

"The whole four years I was here, we started at the very bottom, projected last in the Big Ten," DeNato said. "From there, I was part of the program when we made it all the way to the College World Series and we were projected to finish first in the Big Ten. Pretty much all of that sums up how awesome it was being here and how much of a blast it was." 

[ccgeneral 38,084]

Joey is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA through 6 games so far this season. IP 9, 6 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 11 K.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

DeNato got his first win of the season in relief today. He pitched 1.1 innings and didn't allow a run, walk or hit and K'd 3.

BlueClaws ‏@BlueClaws: Tyler Viza got the win tonight for the BlueClaws - he's 4-1. Joey DeNato got the save - his first of the year.

[ccgeneral 38,084]

The BlueClaws held off Hickory with Joey DeNato getting the final six outs of the game as Lakewood topped Hickory 3-2 on Saturday night at FirstEnergy Park.

 

Hickory had the tying run on second base with one out in the 9th inning but DeNato, who earned his second save, got Jose Cardona to fly out to right and Isiah Kiner-Falefa to strike out swinging to end the game.
