Veteran Braves pitcher throws one-hitter, tops 500 innings

A longtime member of the Sarnia Braves Baseball Club reached a milestone in dramatic fashion earlier this month.

Nick Baljeu became the first Braves player in franchise history to surpass 500 innings pitched during a complete game, one-hit win over the Thornhill Reds July 6.

The 30-year-old Sarnia native has been with the Braves for nine seasons now.

During his Braves career, the 5'11" righty has an ERA of 2.21. He also has 418 strikeouts, a WHIP of 1.01, and 54 wins, all program bests.
