South Carolina doesn't have much to brag about besides coming in second in the Civil War. So when one of ours shines in the pros, it's worth mentioning.
Like a lot of people whose tooth count approaches double-digits, Mike Cisco matriculated at the University of South Carolina. Drafted this Spring by Philadelphia, the 5'11" right-hander was not highly touted beginning his first summer of professional ball, despite his pedigree. Pitching coach Galen Cisco is his grandfather.
That might change now (his prospect status, not his pedigree). In 35 innings with the Lakewood Blue Claws of the Atlantic League, Cisco posted a .51 ERA with 30 strikeouts.
And no walks. None as in zero.
That's a strikeout-to-walk ratio of infinity, which is more than two. So that's considered good. See you in Wilkes-Barre, Mike!
