Myette set to pitch in opener

| | Comments (0)

Barring a setback, right-hander Aaron Myette will start opening night against Camden.

Pitching coach Tippy Martinez liked what he saw from Myette Sunday. The former White Sox first-round draft pick threw 51 pitches and didn't allow a hit against Long Island in Sunday's 4-2 loss.

Before joining York, Myette had not played pro ball since spring of ’06. But he’s been the first pitcher to step up his pitch count without experiencing problems.

“The other guys need a little more time,” Martinez said. “We have a couple guys who are still working on some things.”*

York remains in Tiger Town until Tuesday. The Revolution will scrimmage Camden at 1 p.m. today and play Southern Maryland Tuesday.

Teams will break camp Tuesday, and York hopes to practice Wednesday at Sovereign Bank Stadium.
