This honor is a tribute to the hard work Brad has put into his talent. He has incorporated the instruction that pitching coach Brian Unger presented to him which has taken his pitching to another level. He has truly developed into a legitimate professional prospect. I believe that he is in line to have a tremendous 2006 for the Hawks.
