The Blue Jays were shut out for the third time this season, all of which have come against the Threshers. Dunedin has out-hit Clearwater in all three of their losses this week.
The Jays have not allowed more than three runs in their last ten games. Over their last 15 games dating back to the start of the St. Lucie series, Dunedin’s pitching staff has posted a 2.13 ERA, the best mark among Class-A teams over that span.
RHP Landen Maroudis (4 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 2 BB, 3 K) hurled four shutout frames with one hit and three strikeouts. Over his first two starts with Dunedin this season, the Blue Jays No. 7 prospect has fired eight shutout frames with one hit and six strikeouts. Maroudis didn’t allow any hard contact, with the hardest-hit ball against him registering 96.4 MPH and an average exit velocity of just 82.9 MPH.
Another stellar start for @BlueJays No. 7 prospect Landen Maroudis🔥
