The West Coast League’s Moss Adams Player of the Week and Pitcher of the Week, as announced by Commissioner Rob Neyer, are Cowlitz Black Bears outfielder LeTrey McCollum (UC Santa Barbara) and Victoria HarbourCats right-hander Sean Heppner (University of British Columbia).

Last week, McCollum went 11 for 19 in five games while scoring nine runs and stealing seven bases. Only 12 WCL players have stolen more bases in the entire season compared to McCollum’s total over last week’s five-game stretch. The rising junior has made an instant impact since joining Cowlitz, producing a .447 batting average in 10 games. In 52 starts for UC Santa Barbara this spring, he batted .300 with a team-high .336 average in Big West games.

Sunday against the Bellingham Bells, Victoria’s Heppner was overpowering, earning the win to complete the HarbourCats’ sweep. In just five innings, Heppner K’d a dozen Bells while allowing only two hits. In his five outings this summer, Heppner ranks second in the League with 35 strikeouts in only 20 innings. As a sophomore this spring, he was named Cascade Collegiate Conference Pitcher of the Year after going 7-5 with a 3.23 ERA for the UBC Thunderbirds.
