ANDREW HERBERT WINS PITCHER OF THE WEEK AWARD

AVON, OH – It’s another week, another award for the Washington Wild Things. After two weeks of play, the Wild Things sit atop their respective division, and is home to the Frontier League’s Pitcher of the Week winner.

Following Jeff Liquori, who took home the Player of the Week award last week, Washington’s Andrew Herbert earned the Week 2 Pitcher of the Week honors with a strong outing.

Herbert punched out a career-high nine batters across seven scoreless innings in Washington’s 5-0 win over the Schaumburg Boomers on Saturday. The right-hander retired the first twelve Boomers that he faced and carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before allowing a double. He conceded just one hit, one walk, and one hit-by-pitch as he earned his first win of the season.

Herbert is in his second season with Washington. He pitched primarily out of the bullpen in 2025, carrying a 4.08 ERA across 39.2 innings and leading the Wild Things with 12 saves. He originally signed with Washington in May 2025 after pitching at Reinhardt University for four years.
