Mt St Joe/Purcell Marian Star Steven Matre Makes 2011 Debut

Steve Matre







Steve Matre pitched two scoreless innings in the Ogden Raptors, season opener against Idaho Falls.

Matre allowed two hits and struck out two in the Raptors, 12-4 win.

The 23-year old spent three months in extended spring training at the Los Angeles Dodgers facility in Glendale, Arizona until he was assigned to the short season rookie league.  The Pioneer League is the more advanced of the short season rookie leagues.

Matre was drafted in the 39th round by the Dodgers.  He missed the college
 season, recovering from elbow surgery.  The righthanded reliever pitched just two innings for the Arizona League rookie team last season.
