June 3, 2012 - Victoria native Daniel Tunchez is the Generals first mid-season pick-up of the year. Tunchez just completed his freshman season at Eastfield College.

Tunchez made nine appearances on the season at Eastfield and posted a 2-1 record with a 5.21 ERA. He allowed just 17 hits in 19 innings to go along with 29 strikeouts.

Despite only being 5’10” and 175 pounds, Tunchez has a fastball that can reach in the mid-90s.

Tunchez graduated from Memorial High School, but focused on basketball during his prep career.

“Daniel has a great arm that just needs a little polishing and refining,” stated Blake Koch, Victoria’s general manager. “Daniel will benefit greatly from working with Coach Clemons this summer and getting some good game-time experience in our league.”
