★ Star of the Night ★
Today we're going to go with Savannah's RHP Ryan Fraser for his sterling 6+ IP, 0 earned relief effort for the Gnats. Fraser has transitioned into the rotation very nicely this season after starring as the Cyclones' closer in 2010. He's posted an impressive 2.83 ERA through ten appearances though while his troublesome walk rate has improved quite a bit this season ('11: 3.21 | '10: 5.74), his K-rate has regressed significantly as well as he has learned to tone down his high velocity stuff ('11: 4.53 | '10: 11.20).
