Workhorse pitcher looks to build upon strong sophomore season
The Sussex County Miners are pleased to announce that pitcher Kellen Brothers has re-signed for the 2026 season.
Last year, the 6-foot-3 right-hander from Gridley, CA, went 8-5 with a 4.50 ERA and struck out 80 batters. Brothers was second on the team in starts (18), innings pitched (104), and wins (8, tied for fourth place in the Frontier League). The 25-year-old has a deep arsenal of pitches, including a slider, changeup, curveball, and fastball with movement.
Brothers signed his first professional contract with the Miners in 2024 after a stellar career at Oklahoma Wesleyan University in Bartlesville, OK. In his four years with the Eagles, Brothers posted an impressive 25-7 record and earned numerous awards, including multiple All-Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) selections (2021 First Team and 2024 Third Team) and KCAC Pitcher of the Week honors.
Join Kellen Brothers and the Miners for their home opener at Skylands Stadium on Friday, May 8, 2026, against the Down East Bird Dawgs. Single-game, half-season, and season tickets are now on sale at tickets.sussexcountyminers.com.
