PENSACOLA, Fla. -The Southern League of Professional Baseball Clubs announces Pensacola Blue Wahoos lefthander Cody Reed as Pitcher of the Week for the extended week of August 31 through September 7. This is his third award this season, and second Southern League pitching honor in five weeks.
Over a league-high 14.0 innings pitched in two starts last week, the Blue Wahoos southpaw led the loop with a 2-0 record, a clean 0.00 ERA and 17 strikeouts. More importantly, Reed helped pace his club to the South Divisions Second Half Division Championship, the first in team history.
In his first outing of the week, a 1-0 victory in Jackson on August 31, the Memphis native went eight scoreless innings, fanning eight Generals, while giving up just four hits. Six days later, Reed took the mound for what would be the division-clinching victory, a 15-2 win over the visiting Mobile BayBears. Over six frames, the Northwest Mississippi CC product struck out nine batters, while allowing two unearned runs on just three hits. This is his third season, and second Southern League pitching honor in five weeks.
This is the fifth time this season a Blue Wahoos player has earned weekly honors by the Southern League. Outfielder Jesse Winker and catcher Kyle Skipworth were honored for hitting five home runs in five straight games August 10-16 and July 13-20, respectively. Starting pitcher Tim Adleman was named Pitchers of the Week on June 22-29.
