2-8-04- Jamaica, N.Y.- Mainers Head Coach Scott Brown announced Monday the signing of Pat Bresnehan, a freshman pitcher from Arizona State University.

“Pat is a big time pitcher who could be a major impact in the NECBL,” said Brown, “He should also bring a little local flavor from nearby Massachusetts.”

Bresnehan is making a name for himself coming out of the pen for Arizona State. He is currently 3-0, with 3 saves and an ERA of 1.69. He has struck out 21 batters in 16 innings.

The Kansas City Royals selected Bresnehan out of high school in the 23rd round of the 2003 MLB Amateur Draft.

Bresnehan compiled an impressive resume while attending Dover-Sherborn High School in Dover, Mass. He was the league’s best pitcher as a freshman, sophomore, and junior. He won the league and state’s MVP award his senior year, after going 6-1 with 102 strikeouts.

Bresnehan played for the USA Baseball Junior National Teams in 2002 and 2003. He also played in the 2003 CABA World Series with the Bayside Yankees.
