New Orleans Baby Cakes News Release


Metairie, LA - New Orleans Zephyrs left-handed starter Adam Conley has been named to the 2015 All-Pacific Coast League team, the league announced Monday.

Conley thrived in his second season in New Orleans, going 9-3 with a 2.52 ERA in 19 games (18 starts) before a promotion to the Miami Marlins on August 1. He led the league in ERA as recently as Thursday, when he no longer had enough innings pitched to qualify.

The 25-year-old also owned a league-leading .217 opponents batting average and 1.17 WHIP and was named the PCL's starting pitcher for the Triple-A All-Star Game, but did not appear due to a Major League call-up.

Over his final 12 outings with the Zephyrs, Conley went 6-1 with a 1.98 ERA, including a two-hit shutout on July 5 against Iowa to earn him PCL Pitcher of the Week honors. He picked up his first Major League victory six days later by beating the Cincinnati Reds in his first career start.

Conley is the second Zephyr in the last three years to be named the PCL's top left-handed pitcher, joining Brian Flynn in 2013.
