MILWAUKEE – Milwaukee Brewers prospect and Triple-A Nashville left-handed pitcher Robert Gasser today was named International League Pitcher of the Year by Minor League Baseball. The award was voted on by league managers, and final decisions were determined by the Commissioner’s Office.
Gasser is the sixth member of the Sounds to earn Pitcher of the Year, joining Chris Hammond (1990), Scott Ruffcorn (1994), R.A. Dickey (2007), Johnny Hellweg (2013) and Jimmy Nelson (2014). The 24-year-old is the first Nashville pitcher to win in the International League.
