LIMA, Ohio – Carter Doorn's league-leading ERA helped earn Purdue baseball's rising sophomore righthander a trio of notable individual honors in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League, highlighted by Lou Laslo Pitcher of the Year honors in the North Division.
Doorn helped led the Lima Locos qualify for the playoffs, posting a 0.88 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and .141 batting average against over 41 innings. He racked up 47 strikeouts vs. 20 hits allowed. Including his scoreless inning in the July 12 GLSCL All-Star Game, the Schererville, Indiana, native worked 38 scoreless innings this summer while not giving up more than one run in any outing. He struck out a season-high 11 over six innings in his July 15 victory.
Doorn was also recognized as the North Division's Tony Lucadello Top Pitcher Prospect and as a first-team all-league performer.
Fellow Boilermaker and Lima Locos teammate Ty Gill was a second-team all-league performer at shortstop. Gill finished the regular season riding a 15-game hit streak, reaching base safely at least twice in all 15 games. The rising sophomore led the league with a .374 batting average and .519 on-base percentage while ranking third with 25 stolen bases.
Along with his league-leading ERA, Doorn was second in batting average against and third in strikeouts.
The Locos take on the Michigan Monarchs in a best-of-three North Division championship series as the GLSCL playoffs begin Tuesday in Adrian, Michigan. Lima is coached by Matthew Furuto, the brother of Purdue assistant coach Daniel Furuto.
The individual honors won by Doorn are named after longtime MLB scout and co-founder of the GLSCL Lou Laslo. Tony Lucadello was also a longtime MLB scout based primarily in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana.
