Bowie, MD - Right-handed pitcher Nestor German of the Chesapeake Baysox, Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for June 10-15, as announced by Minor League Baseball.
German faced just three batters over the minimum to work a career-high six scoreless innings and allowed just one hit, one walk and one hit batter with six strikeouts on Friday, June 13 against Harrisburg. The Orioles No. 10 prospect set down the first nine batters in a row and set down 13 of the first 14 hitters of the game.

Amongst Orioles minor leaguers this season, German is sixth in strikeouts (61) and tied for sixth in innings pitched (51.0).
