Pitchers of the Week for the week ending May 18Eastern League
A.J. Cole, Harrisburg
(1-0, 0.00 ERA, 1 G, 1 GS, 1 CG, 1 SHO, 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 HR, 0 HBP, 0 BB, 8 K)
Cole has enjoyed success at Double-A -- he owns a 2.21 ERA in 15 starts at the level -- but there was still something he hadn't achieved there or at any other stop in the Minors, a shutout. He achieved that -- and his first career complete game -- Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader against New Britain. His eight strikeouts and seven innings pitched were both season highs. The Nationals' No. 2 prospect is 4-2 with a 2.25 ERA, 34 strikeouts and just seven walks in eight starts (40 innings).
