KENT, Ohio -- Former Kent State southpaw Jon Pokorny has been named to the Midwest League Postseason All-Star squad, the Minor League Baseball Class A league recently announced.
A ninth round pick of the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2009 draft, Pokorny is 16 for 19 in save opportunities this season and is tied for fifth in the Midwest League in saves after moving into the closer spot in early June following stints in long relief and set up roles to begin the 2010 campaign. Pokorny, who was named to the postseason squad as a left-handed reliever, is three saves shy of tying the Wisconsin franchise record for saves in a single season.
Pokorny ranks tied for sixth on Kent State's career saves list with nine and earned three letters at KSU (2007-09). He garnered All-Mid-American Conference selection in '09, posting a 2.20 ERA with five wins, five saves and 53 strikeouts in 41.0 innings of work.
