Oberlin, Ohio – Oberlin College rising-senior
Phil Brua has been selected to play in the Prospect League All-Star game on July 6 as voted on by the league's coaches.
Brua, who was a Third-Team All-Region and First-Team All-NCAC selection this past spring, has simply been lights out for the Lorain County Ironmen so far this summer.
The sidearm specialist leads the league with three saves and is second with a 0.74 ERA. In 24.1 innings of work he is 3-0 and has allowed just two runs and five walks while fanning 11.
For the Yeomen he set the school's saves record with six and also tied the wins record by going 6-3. He appeared in a school record 22 games, registering 50 punchouts along the way.
The Ironmen compete in a highly touted wooden bat league that features mostly Division I players. Prior to Tuesday's game, which will by played in Quincy, Illinois, Brua and the rest of the all-stars will participate in a pro day workout for Major League scouts.
The Prospect League is one of the several elite summer leagues in the country and has sent over 175 players to the Major Leagues. For more information about the Ironmen visit
