STATE COLLEGE - Major League Baseball Advanced Media announced today that Kevin Decker of the State College Spikes has been named the New York-Penn League's Pitcher of the Week for the week of July 5-11, 2010.

 

Decker, a right-handed pitcher from Washington, Indiana, made two scoreless relief appearances totaling 10 1/3 innings over the past seven days, notching his second win of the year in Sunday night's 3-0 win over Vermont. The College of Charleston alum was selected in the 39th round of the 2010 MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates after compiling an 8-0 record this past spring.

 

Decker currently carries a scoreless innings streak of 13 1/3 innings. He is the second Spike ever to receive a New York-Penn League weekly award, after Aaron Baker earned Player of the Week mention for the week of August 24-30, 2009. Nick Schwaner of Hudson Valley was named Player of the Week for the most recent seven-day span.
