The Corvallis Knights of the West Coast League have signed Oregon State freshman right-handed pitcher Adam Duke for the 2011 season.

Duke is 0-0, 9.00 in two appearances this spring, with two strikeouts. He missed the first two/thirds of the season with a sore arm.

A graduate of Spanish Fork High School in Spanish Fork, Utah, Duke lettered four times, earned all-state honors three times, and was a preseason and postseason Louisville Slugger All-American and the Utah Player of the Year and Utah Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior in 2010.

Duke finished his high school career with a 31-6 record in 44 games, and was 11-0 as a senior with a 1.33 ERA and 100 strikeouts. He was rated as the No. 117 high school player in the nation by Baseball America his senior season.

He will be the fourth OSU freshman pitcher on the Knights this summer, joining left-hander Ben Wetzler and right-handers Scott Schultz and Tom Zarosinski.

Duke was a high school teammate of Knights left-handed pitcher Tyler Duffin, a Lewis-Clark State signee who just completed his sophomore season at the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls.

The Knights released sophomore right-handed pitcher Nate Dolman of Mt. Hood Community College to make room for Duke. Dolman was 4-3, 5.08 in eight games for the Saints.
