Wild Things sign relief pitcher
The Wild Things have signed sidearming relief pitcher Chris Gammon, who had a successful career at Georgia College and a professional stint with the Garden City Wind of the independent Pecos League.
Gammon transferred to Georgia College after two seasons with Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Arizona. In 2015, Gammon had an impressive 1.89 ERA. He led the Bobcats with 31 appearances and six saves. As a senior last spring, Gammon had eight saves and struck out 26 batters in over 25 innings.
With Garden City, Gammon led the team in ERA (1.89) and saves (7). He struck out 22 of the 78 batters he faced.
“Chris embraces and succeeds in late innings and pressure situations, which is a valuable trait. His competitiveness is the first thing that we noticed. His statistics and accolades are great, but we believe there are some intangibles that will continue to make Chris successful at the professional level here in Washington,” said Wild Things general manager Steve Zavacky.
