He turned 20 in May, yet led the organization in ERA (2.68) and was second in strikeouts (122). His 2.93 ERA and 106 K's in the Texas League were good making him the youngest player for the Texas League. Then, for good measure, he went 2–0 with a 0.69 ERA in three starts for Team USA during its IBAF World Cup gold medal run. Trevor broke a Guinness Book World Record versus China striking out 11 tying Burt Hootens three decade old record for Team USA."[2]
