Kilian Named High-A West Pitcher of the Month
June 2, 2021 - Northwest League (NWL)
Eugene Emeralds News Release
Emeralds RHP Caleb Kilian (3-0, 1.25 ERA) has been named the High-A West's Pitcher of the Month for the month of May.
Kilian, who was recently promoted to the Double-A Richmond Flying Squirrels, flat-out dominated opposing batters over his four starts in May with the Emeralds.
The right-hander out of Texas Tech departed the Northwest at-or-near the top of nearly every noteworthy statistical category in the High-A West, leading the league in wins (3), strikeouts (32), opponent's average (.122), and WHIP (0.46) while ranking third in ERA (1.25) upon his promotion to Richmond.
Kilian's last outing as an Emerald was a masterful one, carrying a perfect game through 6.2 innings against the Tri-City Dust Devils before finally surrendering the first base runner of the game on a double down the left field line that just snuck inside the third base bag.
The former eighth round selection in the 2019 MLB Draft previously won a pair of High-A West Pitcher of the Week awards, the first coming after the first week of the season and the second coming after his perfect game bid in late May.
The Eugene Emeralds (16-9) resume the home schedule on June 15 and will have an increased capacity at PK Park per Wednesday's announcement. Single-game tickets will begin going on sale starting on June 7. You can find all the information you need at www.EmeraldsBaseball.com.
