From Al’s Fastball:

The So Cal Bombers are pleased to announce the signing of pitcher Darrell Tilley for the 2007 season. Already boasting a stellar pitching duo of Sean Whitten and Tony Peeples, the Bombers are thrilled to add the hard throwing Canadian to the staff.

In 2006 Tilley threw for the Bloomington Stix at the ISC WT and had a strong performance that boasted one of the top strikeout/inning ratio’s (1.65) and with Whitten gives the Bombers two of only 10 pitchers clocked at 81+ MPH at the tournament.

Coach McGiffin:

“Darrell is a bit of a hidden gem and we’re excited to add that potential to our staff. He throws as hard as anyone in the world and having faced him a couple of times last year, we have first hand knowledge that he has great stuff beyond just velocity. With more support and less innings, we think he’ll take his place among the top throwers in the world this year.

With Darrell and Sean our staff now has two of the hardest throwers in the ISC and with the leadership of Team USA veteran Tony Peeples, who compliments them fully with great stuff and a bulldog approach, we’re very excited about the depth and quality of our pitching staff. We may be underrated in this regard going into the season but we believe in these guys and their ability to get people out. I think we’ll prove early on, we have the arms to make the run.”

Leaving two spots for last minute fill-ins, Tilley’s addition sets the So Cal Bomber roster for 2007 as follows:

1. Darren Box C/OF
2. Mike Butler INF
3. Greg “Scrappy” Crawford OF
4. Nate Devine OF/INF
