Hard throwing lefty, who was just drafted in the 2nd round last year, will start for the Tigers against the Braves on Friday. I will be in attendance.
In 14 starts in Erie, Oliver has a 3.61 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 70 K’s in 77.1 innings pitched. Some awesome nuggets about Oliver: he was drafted by the Minnesota Twins, but refused to sign. Suck it, Twins. In 2008, he was deemed ineligible for the college regionals when he prematurely received help from an agent, allegedly. He sued the NCAA and received $750 K in a settlement.
