The inaugural pitching selection for 2018 was Mitch Lines of Cowlitz. The right-hander picked up an Opening Night win at Bend, tossing 5 scoreless innings while walking none and striking out 8 in the Black Bears 5-3 victory over the Elks.
This past spring, Lines pitched for the back-to-back NWAC champion Lower Columbia College Red Devils. He went 6-0 and posted a 1.94 ERA over 11 appearances and 7 starts.
