Avon, OH - The Frontier League announced on Monday that Lake Erie Crushers left-handed pitcher, Andres Parra, was given Frontier League Pitcher of the Week Honors.

Parra pitched spectacularly in two starts during the week of May 25th. It began with a home start against the Florence Y'alls where he went 6 Ã¢..." IP, giving up just one unearned run on three hits with four strikeouts. The Venezuelan lefty's performance was vital to the Crushers winning the tight 2-1 contest on Wednesday, May 27th.

Then, on just three days' rest, Parra emerged to start against the divisional foe Washington Wild Things on Sunday in hopes of salvaging a crucial game in the series. Parra got through 4 Ã¢..." innings of scoreless baseball against a lethal Washington lineup. His outing featured a Houdini act in the top of the 2nd when the Wild Things loaded the bases with nobody out. Parra buckled down to strike out back-to-back batters, then got the final out of the inning on a flyout to escape the threat completely unscathed.

Parra, just 21-years old, became the youngest Opening Day starting pitcher in Lake Erie Crushers history on May 8th at ForeFront Field. For the week, Parra's line is as follows: 1-0, 2 GS, 11 IP, 8 H, 1 R (0 ER), 5 BB, 9 K.

On the season, Parra has a 2-1 record in five starts with a 3.33 ERA. The Crushers are proud to celebrate the Frontier League administered accomplishment. This marks the first time a Crushers player has been given Pitcher of the Week honors since Leonardo Rodriguez in 2025.
