SPOKANE — Port Angeles’ Cole Uvila recently wrapped his rookie season in Minor League Baseball with the Spokane Indians.
Uvila was drafted in the 40th and final round of last June’s MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers and assigned to their short-season Class A affiliate, the Spokane Indians.
The Indians won the Northwest League North Division’s second-half title and defeated Everett in the divisional playoffs before being swept by Eugene in the NWL Championship Series 3-0.
A reliever, Uvila appeared in 19 regular season games, posting a 1.42 ERA in 31.2 innings pitched. He had a 48-to-15 strikeout to walk ratio with 0.88 walks and hits per inning pitched and opposing batters hit just .127 against him.
In the postseason, Uvila posted a 0.00 ERA in 4.1 innings over two appearances with two holds.
