Farmstros '09 in Review Part 6- Round Rock's All-Star Starters

The first two pitchers for the Pacific Coast League in the 2009 All-Star Game represented the Round Rock Express. Bud Norris made the start and was relieved by Yorman Bazardo. Norris and Bazardo starting every fifth day was one of few highlights in Round Rock, where the Express struggled to one of the worst records in AAA.

Before being called up in July, Norris had the best ERA in the PCL. In 19 starts, he pitched 120 innings and struck out 112 while posting a 2.63 ERA. Prior to his August promotion, Bazardo pitched 135 innings and had a 3.20 ERA.
