Derek Shifflett Wins RCBL Player of the Week for Week 2

Bridgewater Reds infielder and pitcher Derek Shifflett was named RCBL Player of the Week for May 29th-June 3rd. Shifflet had three solid pitching performances, one at Montezuma on Wednesday (2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 2 K), another on Friday at Stuarts Draft (1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 1 K), and a complete game at Elkton on Saturday for game one of a doubleheader [7 IP, 2 R (1 ER), 7 H, 1 BB, 10 K). At the plate, he hit .421 with nine hits and two RBIs, including a home run in game one at Elkton on Saturday.
 
“Just glad to be out there having fun with some great guys,” Shifflet said. “We have a very balanced team, just need to keep doing what we do and keep the foot on the gas pedal. It’s going to be a fun year.”
 
This season is going to be Shifflett’s last in the RCBL, as he will retire at the end of the season. The RCBL media team recently had Shifflett on The Rocktown Rundown to discuss his decision and his career.
