[edit] Biographical Information
Jim Brower was a very late addition to the Rimini roster for 2010, replacing Harold Eckert in late March when Eckert could not come to Italy for family reasons. The former big leaguer had an Italian Baseball League debut to remember, tossing a no-hitter on Opening Day against Grosseto. He had a perfect game entering the sixth but finished with two walks versus 10 K. His second game was nearly a no-hitter as well; in 8 innings against Godo, he allowed one hit and no runs in a 2-0 win. James Bucchi broke up the no-no in the 8th.
Brower was the pitching coach of the Kane County Cougars in 2011-2012.
