THIS WEEK IN THE CAPE LEAGUE
COCA COLA PITCHER OF THE WEEK:
The first pitcher to secure the Coca Cola Pitcher of the Week award is Falmouth’s
Mark Pope (Georgia Tech). Pope was lights out in his only appearance to date. In a 1-0 victory over Cotuit, the right-hander fanned 11 Kettleers over seven shutout innings, surrendering only two hits. The 11 strikeouts were matched by only three other pitchers over the first week of games. COCA COLA PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Chatham first baseman
Rick Oropesa (USC) has been named the Cape League’s first Coca Cola Player of the Week of 2010. Over the opening week, Oropesa batted .304, but it was his power numbers that earned him the honor. The Trojans’ two home runs left him tied for the most in the league, while his seven RBI stand alone atop the leader board. A .609 slugging percentage, good for fourth in the league, coupled with a .429 on-base percentage make Oropesa a force at the plate. Mike Campbell, CCBL Intern
