Matt Harvey has been making a lot of noise down in the minors, but a guy who has been pitching almost as impressively is Jeurys Familia.
Last night, pitching the day after Harvey, Familia went seven innings, giving up no runs on three hits, three walks, and eight strike outs. Familia has given up one earned run in 25.2 innings this season. That's a 0.35 ERA. The 20 year-old right hander out of the Dominican Republic, struggled last season with a 5.58 ERA, but the two seasons before that he had an ERA under three.
This season Familia is off to a dominating start and that one-two punch of Harvey-Familia has to be one of the best in the Single-A league.
