SAN FRANCISCO – Washington State freshman Ryan Walker has been named the Pac-12 Conference Pitcher of the Week for April 27-May 3, conference commissioner Larry Scott announced Monday.
In two starts last week, Walker worked a combined 11 2/3 innings, scattering four hits with three walks while striking out 12. Opponents hit only .105 against him and managed two extra base hits, with only one runner advancing past second. Of the 154 pitches he threw, 105 (68 percent) went for strikes.
Against Washington last Monday, Walker went four 2/3 shutout innings in a 3-0 victory against the Huskies, allowing two hits while striking out five.
