The Evansville Otters have signed veteran pitcher Trevor Walch and he will start tonight at CarShield Field at 6:35 p.m. against the River City Rascals.
The Eufaula, Okla. native rejoins the team after pitching with Evansville in two games last season. In 2016, Walch went 0-1 with a 10.24 ERA in 9 2/3 innings of work on the mound.
Walch also appeared in the Frontier League Championship Series last season against River City and didn’t allow a run in two postseason appearances.
This is Walch’s fifth season with Evansville. He made his debut with the Otters in 2013 and has a 3.43 career ERA.
Walch posted his best year with Evansville in 2015, finishing 8-8 with a 2.77 ERA while only surrendering 122 hits in 133 1/3 innings that season. In 40 starts with Evansville, he has a 16-15 record and has struck out 211.
Evansville returns home to Bosse Field on Aug. 8 to open a series against the Florence Freedom, the first game of a six-game homestand.
