Garrett Apker, a right-handed pitcher from Cal State San Marcos, has been named the CCAA Baseball Pitcher of the Week for the week of Feb. 14-20, after a dominant outing.

Apker, a senior from Simi Valley, threw a complete game on Sunday in the Cougar’s 3-2 win over No. 17 Colorado Mines. The much-needed win helped the Cougars avoid a series sweep.

In the gem, Apker struckout a program-record 13 batters and gave up just two runs on five hits. Nine of his strikeouts were swinging fans. Apker’s 9-inning performance was the 19th in program history and the first since 2017. His CSUSM-record 13 strikeouts were the most since Mike Lopez threw 12 on Feb. 1, 2019.

Apker also threw two innings earlier in the week with two strikeouts without yielding a hit or run. In all, Apker pitched 11 innings, gave up two runs on five hits with 15 K’s in two outings. Opponents batted .139 against him.
