CT Tigers-Mahoning Valley 2013

Former 2010 CT Tiger Robbie Weinhardt Released By Tigers Organization

Former Connecticut Tigers pitcher Robbie Weinhardt was recently released by the Detroit Tigers organization. Weinhardt holds the distinction of being the first and so far only CT Tigers alum to reach the major leagues. Robbie was a member of the CT Tigers inaugural team in 2010 and went (1-0, 2.25 ERA in 3 games with Connecticut.) He pitched in 30 MLB games for the Detroit Tigers during the 2010 & 2011 seasons, compiling a lifetime record of (2-2, 6.39 ERA.)

Zac Reininger Connecticut Tigers Connection's 2013 Pitcher Of The Year

Connecticut Tigers Connection has selected CT Tigers NY-Penn League All Star closer Zac Reininger as our 2013 pitcher of the year. Reininger went 1-2 with an ERA of just 1.00 in 22 games. He also fanned 32 in 27 innings and walked just 6 batters. Zac also had 10 saves. Reininger was voted among the best pitchers in the NY-Penn League in a recent issue of Baseball America. 

Dominic Ficociello Connecticut Tigers Connection's Player Of The Year For 2013

Connecticut Tigers Connection has selected second baseman Dominic Ficociello as our 2013 Player Of The Year. Dominic was the most consistent Tiger in 2013, finishing with a team leading average of .264 with 3 HR and team leading 30 RBI'S. 

Former CT Tiger Travis Voted Detroit Tigers Minor League Player Of The Year For 2013

2012 Connecticut Tigers alum Devon Travis was recently been named the Detroit Tigers 2013 Minor League Player Of The Year. Travis was a Florida State product who will best be remembered by Connecticut Tiger fan for his dramatic extra innings game winning homer against Vermont in 2012. Devon joined 2011 CT Tigers alum Tyler Collins in the Arizona Fall League. Travis tore it up for West Michigan and Lakeland in 2013. He combined to hit .350 with 16 HR and 76 RBI'S. He looks to join 2011 CT Tiger Eugenio Suarez as the Detroit double play combo of the future!

Former CT Tiger Danry Vasquez Traded To Houston For Reliever Jose Veras

Connecticut Tigers' 2012 player of the year OF Danry Vasquez was traded by the Detroit Tigers to the Houston Astros today for Houston's closer Jose Veras (who had 19 saves thus far with Houston.)
