Tobs tap Raleigh pitcher Adleman

March 11, 2008

Wilson, NC — The latest addition to the Wilson Tobs 2008 pitching staff will bring in some local flavor, as the team announced the signing of former Wakefield star Tim Adleman.

Adleman, a 6'5" right-hander, will complete his sophomore season at Georgetown University in 2008. At the time of his signing, he was already off to a strong start. Through eight games, the Hoyas had posted a record of 5-3, with Adleman picking up two of those wins. In his two starts, Adleman had compiled 15 innings pitched, 10 strikeouts and two walks.

"Tim is an experienced right handed pitcher who throws three pitches for strikes in any count," said Tobs Head Coach Jeff Steele. "He is extremely competitive and we look forward to him solidifying our starting rotation this summer."

After twice being selected all-conference at Wakefield, Adleman contributed right away to the Hoyas during his freshman season in 2007. He compiled three wins in 9 starts, pitching the third most innings on the Georgetown staff (65.1) while totaling 55 strikeouts and two complete games, both in Big East Conference Play.

Adleman spent the 2007 summer season pitching for the North Adams (Massachusetts) SteepleCats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, making 6 starts and two relief appearances. He posted a 3-0 record with a 3.68 ERA and 1 save against wood bat competition.

The Wilson Tobs are a member franchise of the Coastal Plain League. With fourteen teams in the Carolinas and Virginia, the league attracts top players from collegiate programs throughout the country, playing all home games at Historic Fleming Stadium.
