Campos named Pitcher of the Week

On August 11, Ghosts pitcher Albert Campos threw eight scoreless innings in the Ghosts 3-0 win at Idaho Falls, and that was enough for Campos to be named the Pioneer League's Pitcher of the Week for the week of August 9-15. He is the first Ghost to be honored in 2010.

Wednesday night, Campos allowed just five base runners, giving up four hits, and one walk, while striking out six. The win was Campos’ first win since July 3 against Orem.

Campos, 19, is 2-2 on the season and leads all active pitchers with a 2.33 ERA. He has allowed just 14 earned runs in 54 innings, and is walking less than two batters per nine innings, and he has not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his ten starts in 2010.

The righty from Caguas, Venezulea is vying to become the third Ghosts pitcher to be named the Pioneer League’s Pitcher of the Year in the last four seasons. Jhoulys Chacin won the award in 2007, while Chris Balcom-Miller was given the honor in 2009.
