LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Minor League Baseball™ (MiLB) announced today the league awards and All-Star teams for both Triple-A leagues. In a vote of league managers, Gwinnett Stripers pitcher Kyle Muller was selected as the International League’s top Left-Handed Starter for 2022.

The 25-year-old Muller went 6-8 with a 3.41 ERA in 23 starts during his second season with the Stripers. He led the IL in strikeouts with 159, setting a new Gwinnett single-season record and making him just the second pitcher in Gwinnett history to win a league strikeout title (Kyle Wright, 137 strikeouts in 2021). Muller also ranked among the IL’s top 10 in ERA (3rd), WHIP (5th, 1.18), innings (7th, 134.2), and lowest opponent average (T-7th, .240).
