 Starting Pitchers coming series; Quick Amersfoort adds four pitchers
Nederlands
 AMSTERDAM (Neth.) -
On Thursday-evening (July 15), the next 3-game series opens in the Dutch big league.
Instead of four, there are three 3-game series this time, which has to do with the participation of reigning champion L&D Amsterdam Pirates and Curaçao Neptunus in the European Champions Cup-tournament, which opened last Tuesday (July 13) in the Czech Republic.
One pitcher will make his first start of the season on Thursday.
That's Swedish righthander Oskar Syrén, who then will start for Quick Amersfoort in its opener against Silicon Storks.
He is the brother of Jakob Syrén, who also is a pitcher of the Amersfoort-team.
Oskar Sýren is one of four new pitchers who were added to the roster of Quick Amersfoort earlier this week.
The others are German Tom Adler, Antillian Anferney Hoeve and Dutchman Giovanni Tensen, all righthanders.
The latter, who is the son of Quick's Pitching Coach Richard Tensen, last pitched in the Dutch big league in 2017 when he played for HCAW.
Beneath are the announced starting pitchers for the upcoming series in the big league.
As always, these assignments can change on game-days.
