The International League announced that Columbus pitcher Brad Halsey has been named the League’s Pitcher-of-the-Week for the period of June 7-13. Halsey is the third Clippers’ pitcher honored this season, joining Sam Marsonek and Alex Graman.

The struggling Columbus Clippers managed only one win this past week, but it came in the form of a gem by left-hander BRAD HALSEY. The 23-year-old Halsey took the hill on Thursday, trying to stop the Clippers’ three-game losing skid, and came through with a complete game victory. Halsey, a native of Houston, limited Rochester to a pair of hits and walked two batters in Columbus’ 4-0 win. He fanned six in his second complete game of the season. Halsey has been a contender for the IL Pitcher-of-the-Week award over the past several weeks, going 4-0 with 21 strikeouts and a 0.32 ERA in his last four starts. His recent performance has seen the former University of Texas star move among the IL’s leaders in ERA (4 th ), wins (T-4th ), complete games (T-1st ), shutouts (T-1st ), and innings pitched (7th ). Halsey, the Yankees’ 8 th Round pick in the 2002 June Draft, is currently in his first season at the Triple-A level. He tied for the Minor League Baseball lead in victories last year in his first full professional season, going a combined 17-9 with a 4.21 ERA and 134 strikeouts in 29 games for Class A Tampa and Double-A Trenton. Brad went 7-2 with a 2.74 ERA as a junior on Texas’ 2002 College World Series Championship team prior to being drafted by New York.
