Wimmers Named Big Ten Pitcher of Year, Makes History

Ohio State Jr. RHP Alex Wimmers becomes the first Big Ten pitcher ever to be name Pitcher of the Year in back-to-back seasons as the Cincinnati native received the 2010 honor announced today by the Big Ten.

Though the Moeller product missed three starts with a left hamstring injury, Wimmers still led the Big Ten with a 1.60 ERA and .218 opponents batting average against. Wimmers struck out 86 over 73 innings in going 9-0 in 10 starts.

Joining Wimmers in receiving 1st team All-Big Ten honors is Zach Hurley. Ryan Dew received 2nd team honors at DH, while Michael Stephens picked up a 3rd team selection.

More on the Big Ten honors and these four later.

Kinda suprised Wimmers won because of all the time he missed on the mound. I know his TEAM missed him a lot more than i ever thought they would. I have never seen a team so dependent on one pitcher. It was a shame in the end really. Of course if Strayer holds that lead against the Gophers saturday we are playing tomorrow. Oh well shit happens.
