TOLEDO, OH - Former Toledo baseball pitcher Jeff Cinadr recently appeared in the Frontier League All-Star Game on July 14 at Rent One Park in Marion, IL.
A member of the Lake Erie Crushers, Cinadr represented the East Division and worked 0.2 innings in the mid-summer classic, allowing one hit in a 9-2 setback to the West Division. A seven-run first inning outburst turned the contest into a blowout early and marked the West's first All-Star win since 2006.
For the summer, the right-handed hurler has tallied a 2-1 ledger with three saves and a minscule 1.96 ERA in 23 relief appearances. He has accumulated 41.1 innings of work, yielding nine runs on 31 hits with only nine walks and 28 punchouts.
A four-year letterwinner (2006-09) with the Rockets, Cinadr was taken in the 36th round (1,099th overall pick) of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. He appeared in a school-record 30 games out of the bullpen in 2009, ranking fourth in the Mid-American Conference in total appearances and second in appearances (16) in league play. An excellent student in the classroom as well, Cinadr was a 2009 first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV honoree with a 3.685 GPA in bioengineering.
