FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU sophomore Kyle Winkler was named Mountain West Conference Pitcher of the Week for his efforts against Cal State Bakersfield this past weekend. The honor is the second of his career and the eighth of the season for the Horned Frogs.
Winkler, a native of Sugar Land, Texas, tossed seven scoreless innings in helping TCU to a 12-0 non-conference shutout of Cal State Bakersfield last Friday. The sophomore right-hander fanned seven batters without a walk and surrendered just four hits, only one of which went for extra bases. He retired 18 of the last 19 batters he faced, including the final 10 to improve to 9-1 on the year.
Winkler was also honored on April 19. Bryan Holaday has been tabbed on three occasions this season (March 8, April 19 and May 3). Also honored were Jason Coats (March 1) and Matt Purke (March 15, May 17)
