"ASHEVILLE, N.C.—UNC Asheville right-handed pitcher Alan DeRatt continues to lead the nation in ERA for the second week in a row and the third week this season. DeRatt’s 1.15 ERA is ahead of Bethune-Cookman’s Hiram Burgos (1.29) and UC Irvine’s Christian Bergman (1.41).
DeRatt is tied for the Big South lead in wins with a 7-2 record. The Cary, N.C., native is tied for sixth nationally with 12 starts. The Dogs are 8-4 in games which DeRatt has started this season."
At the recent UNC-A vs UNC-Greensboro game it looked like a Meercat colony behind home plate as all the MLB scouts would pop up their radar guns every time he threw a pitch.

Alan continues to pitch well. Last night he threw a complete 10 inning game for UNCA in a 3-2 victory over High Point University in the first day of the Big South Conference Tournament. He gave up only 1 earned run over the course of 10 innings and threw something in the neighborhood of 112 pitches.
I heard, from and unofficial source, that Alan was just named Big South Conference Pitcher of the Year for 2008.
