Minor League Baseball has announced that Chattanooga Lookouts reliever Tommy Eveld has been named Southern League Pitcher of the Week for the week of May 22-28.
Last week Eveld was lights out for Chattanooga. The reliever made three appearances and struck out six across five shutout innings. The right-hander helped the Lookouts take five out of six against the Trash Pandas and brought them within a half game of first place in the North Division.
This season Eveld is 2-0 with 17 strikeouts to just six walks. The former Miami farmhand also has four saves, which ties him for second in the Southern League.
Chattanooga is off tonight but continue their road series against the Tennessee Smokies on Wednesday. They return home on June 6 to face off against the Birmingham Barons.
