PBL Pitcher of the Week - Week 2 - Nico Saltaformaggio

 

 Week One: May 19 - May 25, 2026

Pitcher of the Week: Nico Saltaformaggio, Ogden Raptors

On the mound, Nico Saltaformaggio gave the Raptors exactly what they needed: length, command, and two winning starts. Across 14.0 innings, he went 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA, allowing just one earned run while striking out 11. He held Missoula to 10 hits and one walk across the two outings, setting the tone in both games before the Ogden offense pulled away.

Saltaformaggio opened his week on May 26 with seven innings of four-hit baseball in Ogden's 9-3 win over the Missoula PaddleHeads, allowing one unearned run with no walks and four strikeouts. He followed that on May 31 with another seven-inning win, allowing six hits and one earned run while striking out seven in a 17-10 victory. The final score tightened after he exited, but Saltaformaggio had already done the heavy lifting, limiting Missoula to one run through seven innings while Ogden built a commanding lead.
