ORLANDO, Fla. - Throughout the 2025 season, the Florida Collegiate Summer League will honor two players at the conclusion of each week, an FCSL Player of the Week and an FCSL Pitcher of the Week. This week's honors represent performances from Monday, June 9 through Saturday, June 14. The weekly honors are selected via a vote of league coaches and officials.

Nathan Ricko (Stetson) of the DeLand Suns was tabbed with Pitcher of the Week while Player of the Week went to Drew Pynes (St.Petersburg) of the Winter Garden Squeeze,

In the past week, Pynes slashed .875/1.000/.909 with three RBIs and two runs scored. The catcher always managed to find a way to reach base, reaching in 10 of 11 plate appearances. Pynes had an All-Star worthy performance on Thursday’s 9-10 loss to the Sanford River Rats, going 4-4 with a double, two runs scored and a RBI.

Despite DeLand’s current seven game losing streak, Ricko has been lights out coming out of the bullpen. In two appearances, the Stetson commit collected seven strikeouts in 4.0 innings pitched. He was also perfect in all four innings of work, not allowing a single hit or walk to opposing batters. 

Additionally, the Florida League will honor one player from each team that was not selected as Player or Pitcher of the Week.
