San Jose, CA - San Jose Giants starting pitcher Prelander Berroa was acknowledged by Minor League Baseball as the Low-A West Pitcher of the Week after his dominant performance over the Stockton Ports on Saturday, July 24. Berroa is the third San Jose Giants pitcher to be recognized as Pitcher of the Week, joining fellow starting pitchers Wil Jensen and Kyle Harrison.
Berroa, a hard-throwing right hander acquired by the San Francisco Giants in a trade from the Minnesota Twins in 2019, overpowered the visiting Stockton Ports in his six frames of work, topping out at 99 MPH with his fastball. The Giants would go on to win 8-1 behind Berroa’s strong start (6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 SO), as Berroa retired 18 of 19 batters faced. He now leads the Low-A West with a 2.47 ERA.
