Los Angeles Dodgers prospect Dennis Santana was named Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the week for the time period of May 14-20, his first week with Triple-A Oklahoma City after being called up from Double-A Tulsa.
Santana’s debut with Oklahoma City was certainly a memorable one. He tossed six shutout innings while allowing just three hits and no walks and tying a career high with 11 strikeouts against the Nashville Sounds.
The 22-year-old signed with the Dodgers as an international free agent out of the Dominican Republic in March 2013 and has quickly developed into one of the organization’s top pitching prospects.
