Monday morning, the West Coast League announced its Baker Tilly Player and Pitcher of the Week awards for June 15-21.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK: David Sheppard, Edmonton Riverhawks

Sheppard was brilliant in his start at Wenatchee, Thursday. Against the North Division co-leader, the southpaw spun seven shutout innings while striking out six. He retired 11 straight hitters from the third through the sixth innings and recorded 12 ground ball outs.

The Utah Tech product did not allow a runner past second base.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Zach Wadas, Ridgefield Raptors

Wadas helped the South Division leader Raptors to a 5-1 week by going 9 for 24 (.375) at the plate with two doubles and three home runs. The outfielder from Loyola Marymount knocked in 10 runs, walked five times, scored two runs and stole two bases.

He finished the week with an .833 slugging percentage and 1.316 OPS. Wadas narrowly edged out Sawyer Nelson from the Marion Berries, who posted a .697 on-base percentage thanks to 17 walks. He has earned 34 free passes this season, a record for the second-year team, and is 14 shy of the WCL single-season record.

About the West Coast League
The West Coast League is North America’s premier summer collegiate baseball league, now in its 21st season. Sixteen teams span the region from Oregon to Alberta, giving top amateur athletes a grand stage for competition, development, and connection with the communities they represent, in the finest summer baseball weather on the continent. In the 2025 MLB Draft, two WCL alumni were among the first seven picks, which speaks to both the quality of the League and the collegiate coaches who trust it.
