EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The Frontier League has named Evansville Otters pitcher Luc Rennie the Pitcher of the Week.
Pointstreak, the official statistical provider of the Frontier League and the Independent Professional Baseball Federation, chooses the weekly award.
In earning the award, Rennie picked up his fourth win of the season in Friday's series-opening 6-0 win against the Southern Illinois Miners.
Rennie tossed a season-high eight innings while striking out a career-high 12 batters. Rennie allowed only two hits and walked only one hitter while shutting out the Miners.
Rennie earned the second league honor for Evansville this season after shortstop Toby Thomas received the Player of the Week honor in late May.
In nine starts this season, Rennie is 4-0 with a league-leading 63 strikeouts and third in the league with a 2.11 ERA. He also leads the team with 55.1 innings pitched.
Rennie, a San Diego, Calif. native, joined the Otters before the 2016 season after spending time in the Baltimore Orioles' organization.
He was drafted in the 16th round of the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft from Torrey Pines High School in San Diego by the Orioles and split time between Frederick, Delmarva and Aberdeen from 2012-15. He pitched 221.1 innings in affiliated baseball, winning 11 games and striking out 188 in four seasons.
Following a day off Monday, Evansville continues a nine-game homestand Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. as the Otters take on the Gateway Grizzlies in a three-game series June 26-28 before hosting the River City Rascals this weekend for another three-game series.
Fans can also follow Otters social media on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for game updates throughout the road trip.
The Evansville Otters are the 2006 and 2016 Frontier League champions. Season tickets, group outing packages, and single game tickets are on sale now for the 2018 season.
