Ethan Imbimbo of Mount Olive named NCBWA Southeast Region Pitcher of the Week
SALISBURY, N.C. - Ethan Imbimbo of Mount Olive has been chosen as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers’ Association (NCBWA) Southeast Region Pitcher of the Week.
A 6-foor-4 right-handed pitcher, Imbimbo joined exclusive company in Mount Olive history after recording the first no-hitter since Mount Olive Hall of Famer and former MLB draft pick, Carter Capps achieved the feat against Coker in 2011. Imbimbo pitched seven innings on 88 pitches and tallied six strikeouts and zero walks while facing the minimum 21 batters in an 11-0 win over No. 21 ranked UNC Pembroke on Thursday night.
Making the transition from reliever to starter this season, Imbimbo boasts an impressive 5-0 record on the mound with 32 strikeouts and 14 walks over 37.1 innings pitched. He has held his opponents to a .189 batting average this season, which leads Conference Carolinas this season.
