Tyler Stultz Award Pitcher of the Week Week Of 5/30/2022 Sport Baseball School Cal State Fullerton Year Junior Position Left-Handed Pitcher Hometown Livermore, Calif. High School Junior southpaw Tyler Stultz went a season-long 8.1 innings and produced a season-high 11 strikeouts in combining on Cal State Fullerton’s 2-0 shutout triumph in Thursday night’s series opener with UC Irvine at Goodwin Field. The Titans would go on to take Saturday’s rubber game, 9-3, for a season-ending series victory. A first-year Titan out of Ohlone College, Stultz scattered six singles while walking a pair of ‘Eaters and hitting one. He earned credit for the third combined shutout of his major college career. Teammate Peyton Jones handled the final two outs. Four of the 11 strikeouts were of the called variety as he threw 134 pitches. Stultz finished his first major college season with double-digit strikeouts in back-to-back starts, having fanned 10 over 6.0 frames at Long Beach State on May 20. His longest outing prior to last Thursday was 7.2 innings during a narrow 2-1 loss at Big Ten Tournament champion and automatic NCAA Championship qualifier Michigan on April 8. Thursday’s performance improved Stultz’s win-loss mark to an even 5-5. He drew 14 starts among 15 appearances, with a 3.36 ERA and team-leading totals of 88.1 innings pitched and 86 strikeouts. Stultz is a first-time honoree. He is Cal State Fullerton’s second straight pitcher selection to end 2022, following Fynn Chester from a week ago. Teammate Jackson Lyon was the field player choice back on April 18.
