Foss is Pitcher of the Week

The Wild Things’ Trevor Foss was named the Frontier League’s Pitcher of the Week, the league announced Monday afternoon.

Normal CornBelters outfielder Mike Fish was named the Hitter of the Week.

A native of Janesville, Wisc., Foss (3-2) had a 2-0 record last week, winning at Normal and throwing six shutout innings for a victory in a rain-shortened game Sunday against the Evansville Otters. The 26-year-old right-hander baffled the CornBelters, throwing nine innings and only allowing one run on six hits while striking out eight batters in a complete game. Against Evansville, Foss set a career high with nine strikeouts. He allowed only four hits and one walk over six innings in the Wild Things’ 8-0 win.

Foss has a 2.50 ERA with 27 strikeouts and only four walks. He also has one save in his lone relief appearance and leads the Frontier League with three complete games.
