Emeralds RHP Caleb Kilian (3-0, 1.25 ERA) has been named the High-A West’s Pitcher of the Week for the week of May 17-23.
This past Saturday saw Kilian put forth what is unquestionably the most impressive and masterful pitching performance in the Northwest so far this season.
Kilian, who was making his fourth start of the season, did not allow a Tri-City Dust Devils baserunner until the seventh inning when a Brendon Davis double snuck barely inside the third base bag to break up the perfect game bid.
Still, though, Kilian retired the next batter he faced to cap a performance that saw him fire 7.0 scoreless innings while allowing no walks and just the one hit and tallying a career-high ten strikeouts.
It's @cjkilian97's world, we're just living in it.
