Quote:Perfect Game/Rawlings Pitcher of the Week: Glen Otto, Rice
For the first time this spring it’s a relief pitcher who takes home the Pitcher of the Year title as Rice closer Glen Otto was instrumental in their championship run which then clinched a postseason birth. A physical presence on the mound with a steady low-90s fastball that can touch better and a true swing-and-miss type breaking ball, Otto was used in three of Rice’s four games, recording a pair of wins along with a save. His outings culminated in 9.2 innings on the bump over the five day tournament and he saved his best for last as he threw five innings of scoreless baseball over Southern Miss to preserve the victory for the Owls. In total, Otto struck out 11 batters, walked four, and allowed just four base hits while posting zeroes in the runs allowed column.

Odd typo in the article, as they're clearly talking about Pitcher of the Week. It's an "Oscars" moment...

What about post season birth. That must have been uncomfortable. Spellcheck can't always save you.

Odd I didn't notice that. I really got caught on the player-of-the-year/week distinction.
