Coca Cola Pitcher and Player of the Week
COCA COLA PITCHER OF THE WEEK
Max Perlman, Wareham RHP
Wareham comeback kid Max Perlman (Harvard) has secured this week’s Coca Cola Pitcher of the Week award for his performance against Brewster.
Perlman pitched six shutout innings and left the game with a 1-0 lead. Although the bullpen could not hold the lead, his nine strikeouts and two hits surrendered were enough to earn him this week’s award.
The 6-7 right-hander showed plenty of promise in his first season as a member of the Crimson, earning All-Freshman third team honors. An elbow injury in his first start as a sophomore derailed his second season and much of his junior year, but his success this summer indicates that he has returned to form.
He is also a Cape League veteran. He pitched well enough for the Gatemen in 2008 to be selected as an All-Star alternate before his injury.
Here are the Top Players from the Cape Cod Baseball League for July 9th.
