Happy Birthday - 5/1

Happy Birthday to ~

RHP Travis Ballew (22)
Drafted by Houston in the 23rd round in 2012 out of Texas State University, Ballew had an excellent first season with the Tri-City team with his 1.62 ERA and 1.026 WHIP in 23 appearances. Through his first seven appearances for Lancaster this season, he has a 3.52 ERA and a 1.043 WHIP. Ballew is allowing a  very stingy .172 batting average against him.

LHP Steve Randolph (39)
Drafted by the Yankees in the 18th round in 1995, Randolph pitched 1257.1 innings in minor league and foreign leagues from 1995 to 2010. He only managed 155 innings pitched in the major leagues, though.  He pitched for Arizona in 2003 and 2004 and pitched 13.1 innings over 14 games for Houston in 2007 with rather dismal results.
