University of New Haven alum will make second tour in Park City
By PAUL HERRMANN
Bridgeport The Bridgeport Bluefish today announced the signing of pitcher Matt Sommo. Sommo enters his second season with the Bluefish and third of professional baseball.
Matt was an important member of our bullpen last year, says Bluefish manager Willie Upshaw. He has a young, powerful arm. Its great to have him back.
Last year, Matt made the team after competing in the Bluefish open tryout camp and went on to compile a 2-1 record with a 3.67 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 31 relief appearances, totaling 41.2 innings pitched. He began his career in 2012 with the Sioux Falls Pheasants of the Independent American Association before finishing his rookie season in the Independent Frontier League with the Joliet Slammers.
Matt is a great example that players in our tryout camps can not only make the spring training roster, but can be valuable contributors on the regular season roster, says Bluefish general manager Ken Shepard.
The Connecticut native attended the University of New Haven, in West Haven, Connecticut.
