Mighty Mite Bobby Shantz Tops A’s Pitching
The pint sized lefty Bobby Shantz known as the Mighty Mite has dazzled fans with an 18 10 season and a sharp curve. He credits a flutter knuckle pitch and improved control for his success while aiming to save the knuckler for spot work. His early career included a no hit relief win and he is praised for fielding as the league’s top pitching fielder. His brother Bill, 24, hopes to join him in the majors.
