The Frontier League has named Evansville Otters pitcher Spencer Medick the Pitcher of the Week.

Pointstreak, the official statistical provider of the Frontier League and the Independent Professional Baseball Federation, chooses the weekly award.

In earning the award, Medick pitched seven scoreless innings Friday against Normal, where he struck out nine batters and allowed just two hits.

Last month, the Otters acquired Medick from the Joliet Slammers in a trade for a player to be named later. With Evansville, Medick has started three games with a 1.50 ERA in 18 innings on the mound.

Medick pitched for the AZL Diamondbacks in 2014 and he appeared in 15 games, going 3-0 with a 1.17 ERA. He also played for Joliet (2015-16, 2018) and Southern Illinois (2015) in the Frontier League during his professional career. He played collegiately at Elon University in Elon, N.C.

Medick earned the third league honor for Evansville this season after shortstop Toby Thomas received the Player of the Week honor in May and Luc Rennie was selected as Pitcher of the Week last month.

The Otters return to Bosse Field for a six-game homestand July 17-22, featuring $2 Tuesday, Deaconess and Orthopedic Associates Night, German Heritage Night and Thirsty Thursday, Kyndle Night, Princess Night and Fellowship Day and Family Fun Day.

Tuesday is a doubleheader against Lake Erie with the first pitch of game one set for 5:05 p.m.
