Brandon Pfaadt was acknowledged by Perfect Game USA in its season recap of the esteemed Cape Cod Baseball League.
The hard-throwing right-hander was cited in a section of the article titled "Outstanding Pitching Performances" among 10 hurlers who tossed a minimum of 25 innings in CCBL action.
Suiting up for the Wareham Gatemen, Pfaadt pitched in nine regular-season games with two starts and went 2-1 with a 2.81 ERA along with 34 strikeouts against eight walks in 32.0 innings pitched. Opposing hitters batted just .171 against the Louisville native.

In his final performance of the regular season, the Trinity (Ky.) High School product earned a save behind 3.0 perfect innings as he didn't allow a single baserunner while striking out six.
