Frisco RoughRiders righty Cole Winn earned Double-A Central Pitcher of the Week honors with a strong performance against Midland last Thursday.
Cole tossed six no-hit innings, striking out six and walking three, capturing his first win of the season in a 3-1 RoughRiders victory. Overall this season, Winn is 1-1 with a 2.08 ERA over four starts. He places seventh in the Double-A Central in ERA (2.08), first in batting average against (.129) and second in WHIP (0.74).
Cole Winn slots in as the No. 3 prospect in the Texas system on MLB.com. Many are wondering if he will get the callup in 2021, and that still remains to be seen.
Winn is the first RoughRiders player to be selected as the Double-A Central Player or Pitcher of the Week in 2021.
Following a day off on Monday, the Riders began a 12-game home stand on Tuesday. Their first six-game series is against the Amarillo Sod Poodles (an Arizona Diamondbacks affiliate). The RoughRiders pitching has been really good and their bats have gotten timely hits. They currently sit at 15-9, which puts them in first place.
