After losing some pitchers late in the 2012 season, the Rafters signed UW-Stevens Point freshman JP Feyereisen to help contribute some innings during the final month. Feyereisen was very impressive when called upon by manager Jake Martin, earning him an invitation to return to the team for the 2013 season.
In four outings during the Rafters final month, Feyereisen pitched 8.2 innings in relief and allowed only five hits, while striking out eight batters. His sparkling 3.11 ERA ranked him third on the team behind only former Rafters All-Stars Skyler Debilzen and Seth Fuller.
As a freshman for UW-Stevens Point last spring, Feyereisen appeared in 11 games, making eight starts. He posted a 3-0 record with a 2.66 ERA, striking out 37 batters in 40.2 innings on the mound.
Feyereisen was a four-time letter winner and First-Team All-Conference performer during his prep baseball career. He also helped guide his legion team to a State Championship where he was named Most Valuable Player. Feyereisen is a native of River Falls, Wisconsin.
