ROUND ROCK, Texas – One week into the Texas Collegiate League season and the Round Rock Hairy Men are already picking up some hardware. The league announced this afternoon that Round Rock RHP Jacob Ashkinos has been named the TCL Pitcher of the Week for June 30-July 6.

The Baylor Bear dominated his competition in two outings across the first week of competition in the TCL, combining to allow just one hit and one walk while striking out 10 in 6.0 total innings. His first action of the season came on Wednesday, July 1 at Brazos Valley, where he tossed 3.0 shoutout innings of relief to help preserve a one-run Hairy Men deficit. Ashkinos tallied four punchouts to just one walk in the outing.

The Aledo High School product shined again on Sunday night, holding the Amarillo Sod Dogs scoreless on just one hit in 3.0 strong innings. Ashkinos struck out six of the 11 hitters he faced in the performance.

The right-hander has pitched in 34 games, including nine starts, over three seasons with Baylor University during his collegiate career, combining to go 2-7 with a 5.11 ERA. Ashkinos was named a 2019 Academic All-Big 12 Second Team selection and was added to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll in 2017. Prior to his time at Baylor, he spent a season at Cisco College, going 1-1 with a 3.46 ERA. While at Aledo High School, he was named a 2016 Perfect Game All-Texas Region Honorable Mention and was a 2015 State Semifinalist.
