Lookouts Pitcher Tyler Duffey Named Southern League Pitcher of the Week
Lookouts pitcher Tyler Duffey has been named the Southern League Pitcher of the week. Duffey did not allow a run in his two starts, while striking out 18 batters.
The Houston, Texas native held Southern League hitters to a .130 average (fifth lowest) and posted a miniscule WHIP of 0.59 (third lowest). Although he was unable to record a win in his two starts, Duffey pitched deep into both, exiting with the lead in each outing. On Opening Day in Montgomery, the Rice product struck out 10 batters in 6.2 innings, allowing just four hits and one walk. He followed with another brilliant performance on April 15th against the Birmingham Barons, firing seven innings of two-hit baseball, while adding eight more strikeouts. This is Duffey’s second career weekly honors after he was selected as the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week on July 28th of last season.
