MEMPHIS, Tennessee - Memphis Redbirds right-hander Daniel Poncedeleon has been named the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week for the week of July 9-15, the league office announced Monday.
In yesterday's win over Omaha, Poncedeleon turned in the finest start of his career. The righty threw a one-hit, complete game shutout, the first nine-inning complete game of his career. He allowed just one hit and two walks, while striking out five batters. He allowed the lone hit, a double, in the second, and walked a man with two outs in the third inning. After the walk, he retired 18-consecutive batters until issuing a walk with two outs in the ninth.
It was the first complete game shutout by a Memphis pitcher since
Earlier this month, Poncedeleon was named a PCL All-Star, and struck out the side in his one inning of work in the game. He is the second Memphis player to earn PCL Weekly Honors this season.
