July 29, 2010: Tonight's Pitcher

LHP DEL HOWELL: Selected by Milwaukee in the 15th round of the 2009 draft out of the University of Alabama.

LAST SEASON: Howell appeared in five games (three starts) between the Arizona League Brewers and the Helena Brewers in his first pro season. He was a combined 1-0 with a 0.77ERA. Over 11-2/3 innings pitched, Howell allowed one run, with three walks and nine strikeouts.

LAST START: Howell allowed one run on three hits over four innings at West Michigan on July 22. Howell walked four and struck out one in the game. He pitched four scoreless innings, but allowed two hits and a walk to load the bases in the bottom of the fifth. Then, a severe thunderstorm forced a suspension of the game. Howell got a no decision, but the Rattlers would pick up the win when the game resumed the following night

GO, BAMA! Howell went 5-3 with a 6.33ERA in 11 starts in his final season at Alabama. He struck out 68 opposing hitters in 58-1/3 innings pitched.

ROLL TIDE! Howell also was a position player during his three seasons with the Crimson Tide. He hit a home run against Arkansas as a freshman.

GLORY DAYS: Howell was Mr. Baseball in Alabama in 2006. As a senior at American Christian Academy, Howell went 13-1 with a 0.18ERA. He pitched back-to-back perfect games in his first two starts of the Class 1A state playoffs during the 2006 season.

RANKING: Baseball America rated Howell as the #22 prospect in the Milwaukee Brewer organization in their 2010 Prospect Handbook.

VS. PEORIA: Howell has faced the Chiefs one time this season. He pitched three innings on May 18 at Time Warner Cable Field and picked up his first professional save. Howell did not give up a hit, but did allow one unearned run with a hit batsman, two walks, and two strikeouts.
