Zebulon, N.C. - The Carolina Mudcats are proud to announce that pitcher Cody Anderson was named the 2013 Pitcher of the Year for the Carolina League on Thursday. League managers, general managers and media voted for the year-end superlatives and honorary All-Star team.

The right-hander owned the Carolina League's best ERA at 2.34 and a 9-4 record before a promotion to Double-A Akron on August 14.
