Steven Jennings gets opening-day start for Grasshoppers
April 4, 2019
By: Dwayne Page
Former DeKalb County High School baseball standout Steven Jennings is scheduled to be the opening day pitcher for the Greensboro, North Carolina Hoppers Single-A minor league team.
Jennings, a 20-year-old right-hander, went 3-4 with a 4.82 ERA in 13 starts for Bristol last summer.
He was the subject of a recent story in the Greensboro News and Record and Hoppers’ pitching coach Stan Kyles called Jennings “a strike-thrower.”
“He’s a young kid with a good amount of toughness in him. That’s something I like to see. He’s not overpowering, but his stuff is quality stuff. He’s highly thought of in the organization, obviously, to get the nod for opening up here,” Kyles said.
