SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — The 2021 Frontier League Champion Schaumburg Boomers are proud to announce that right-handed pitcher Aaron Glickstein has been selected as the Frontier League Pitcher of the Week.

Glickstein opened the homestand by pitching six innings against New Jersey in a 6-2 win, working six innings. The converted reliever allowed two runs on five hits with a walk and six strikeouts. Glickstein followed up the performance against New Jersey by working into the seventh on Sunday against Ottawa in a 3-1 victory. The New York native allowed just one run on six hits with a walk and seven strikeouts. For the week, Glickstein finished 1-0 in 12.1 innings with two walks and 13 strikeouts to go along with an ERA of 2.19.

The first-year member of the Boomers has started six games this season and owns a 3.56 ERA in 55.2 innings. Glickstein joined the rotation on June 25 with a spot start after appearing 14 times in relief. Glickstein has walked just seven batters on the season to go with 67 strikeouts for a 9:1 strikeout-walk ratio.
