(Viera, FL) Brevard County Manatees pitcher Zach Braddock has been named the Florida State League Pitcher of the Week for June 9-15. Braddock earned the award after his dominant performance at Lakeland on June 10, when he allowed just one run on two hits, while striking out ten Flying Tigers to earn his third win of the season. It was the second time this season that the lefty fireballer reached double digits in strikeouts, as he struck out eleven against Vero Beach earlier this year.
Braddock was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 18th round of the 2005 First Year Player Draft. After two dominant starts for the West Virginia Power, he was called up to Brevard County, making his first appearance on May 3. Braddock is 3-3 with a 3.60 ERA on the season, striking out 43 batters in just 35 innings of work. He is scheduled to make his next start on Thursday against the Daytona Cubs.
