Don't know why this guy doesn't get morre attention. All he does is get people out.

Kussmaul finished April with his third save, leading B'ham. He diod give up a run, ERA now 1.64. Very stingy with hits alled (6 per 11 innings) but has too many walks (9). Looks as if he and Henry Mabee are the two main relief guys so far this year. This his third year in Sox system, hopefully he'll get promoted to Charlotte later.

Kussmaul's probably a guy who will get people out throughout the minor leagues, he's not an over the top thrower, has a low arm motion. Can't tell how much movement he gets. I believe he topped out around 89-90 but could be wrong on that. It's hard to tell how well a guy like this translates to the big leagues, because minor league hitters are going to be fooled by that motion they haven't seen before. At a higher level, it might translate or it might not, that'll wind up depending a lot on how easy his pitches are to pick up. He also throws something offspeed in there.

Released by Sox in 2014-15 offseason.
