Ryan Hawks Named NWL Pitcher of the Week
June 9, 2025 - Northwest League (NWL)
Everett AquaSox News Release
Everett, WA: Ryan Hawks has been named the Northwest League Pitcher of the Week following his performance on Saturday. Against Eugene, Hawks and two other pitchers combined to no-hit the Emeralds. The 24-year-old struck out seven over seven innings, continuing a strong run of pitching that dates back to his last start in April. Hawks is currently tied for the league lead in wins with six.
The no-hitter was the third in AquaSox franchise history and the first combined no-no in AquaSox history. Everett's first no-hitter came July 21, 1989, when Everett Giants left-hander Maximo Aleys no-hit the Bend Bucks in a 4-1 win. The second one in franchise history came May 31, 2022, when AquaSox right-hander Juan Mercedes no-hit the Eugene Emeralds in a seven-inning game at Funko Field in Everett. During Mercedes' no-hitter, he struck out 10 Emeralds and walked two.
Hawks was the Mariners 8th round selection (247th overall) in the 2023 MLB First-Year Player draft out of the University of Louisville, where he was on the All-ACC Academic Team. In his third season of professional ball, he has a 12-12 record in 41 games (all starts).
