Just prior to the UW-Whitewater baseball team’s postseason run Rob Coe indicated that he wasn’t sure he was going to get the opportunity to play professional baseball.
Coe not only landed a spot on the St. Paul Saints (Minn) roster, but he was signed as a pitcher.
The Appleton native was signed on June 20, 2010 and has put up outstanding statistics in his first 10 days on the Saints’ pitching staff.
To date – Coe has pitched 7.0 innings in three appearances on the mound. He has given up just 3 hits, has stuck out 4 batters while walking 1. Coe has yet to give up a run and enters tonight’s game with a 0.00.
Coe, who was one of the top catchers at the Division III level, didn’t appear on the mound during his career until midway through his senior season this spring.
Used exclusively in a relief role, Coe pitched 12.1 innings, posting a 0.73 earned run average.
The first team All-WIAC and Midwest Region pick hit .350 during the 2011 season and boasted a .985 fielding percentage that helped him to earn American Baseball Coaches Association All-Midwest Gold Glove Team honors.
By the way - now in the American Association - it isn't Rob Coe - it's ROBERT Coe.
