Following a dominant season for Double-A Bowie, Orioles left-handed prospect Keegan Akin was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Year Sept. 2.
"It's definitely an honor to be able to receive [the award] and also represent the Orioles," Akin said on Glenn Clark Radio Sept. 5. "There's a lot of good competition in league this year, so that makes it a little bit more exciting."
Drafted by the Orioles in 2016 out of Western Michigan, 2018 marked Akin's first season in Double-A after he pitched at Short-Season Aberdeen in 2016 and High-A Frederick in 2017.
