Damon Casetta-Stubbs (pictured) again stood out this week among the nine active alumni from the 2017 International Week event. Although Rodriguez was named the Orioles Minor League Pitcher of the Month for April, Casetta-Stubbs finished off his month with a gem, picking up his second professional win with five scoreless innings for West Virginia in Lakewood on April 30.
The 6-4, 200 pound righty scattered five hits, and walked just one and struck out three.
