The Brewster

Jafar Haamid is a 21 year old Starting Pitcher from the Ivory Coast. The wiry 5'11", 155 pound Haamid was a second round pick in the 2039 Expansion Draft from the Phoenix Talons. Haamid showed very good potential and moved up through the Charlotte minor league system quickly.

In 29 Games, combined in both AA and AAA last season, Haamid went 12-9 with a 2.85 ERA and 201 strikeouts to just 59 walks for a combined WAR of 5.4.

In his first start in a Cougars uniform this season, Haamid did not disappoint. Haamid got the win against the Rockville Pikemen by going 7 innings of 4-hit, 1 earned run, ball, while walking 1 and striking out 7.

GM Golden is expecting great things from Haamid this season and looks for him to fill out his potential and become the Ace of this team.

It's going to be interesting to see how the picks we took in that expansion draft actually pan out. My first pick got shipped off instantly and my second pick (Lee Morgan) is pretty much stuck in AAA now with no chance of making it back to the BBA.

Haamid should be good but and I think my first round pick should make it up at some point this season too - Keijo Reini.
