The West Coast League’s Moss Adams Player of the Week and Pitcher of the Week, as announced by league commissioner Rob Neyer, are the Cowlitz Black Bears’ Ben Zeigler (Yavapai College) and the Bellingham Bells’ Austyn Coleman (Cal State San Bernardino).

Zeigler had a blistering week at the plate, going 14 for 24 and scoring eight runs in six games for the Black Bears. The Hawaii native now has a nine-game hitting streak, and his .404 batting average ranks third in the WCL. As a freshman this spring at Yavapai College, he garnered All-Conference second team honors after hitting .386.

Sunday against Corvallis, Bellingham’s Coleman twirled a gem on the road against the Knights. A native of Fontana, California, Coleman earned the win after tossing 6.1 scoreless innings, while allowing just one hit and no walks in the rubber-match showdown between the teams with the top two records in the WCL. Coleman, who pitched in 18 games as a sophomore this spring for Cal State San Bernardino, now sports a 2.77 ERA in his five appearances with the Bells.
