3-15 from: http://thecollegebaseballblog.com/2010/03/15/southern-conference-players-of-the-week-march-15th/#more-24421 - The Citadel starting pitcher Asher Wojciechowski has been selected as the league’s Pitcher of the Week for all games from March 8-14. - In Friday’s SoCon opener against Western Carolina, Wojciechowski struck out 14 batters, the second highest of his career and tops in the conference this season, while working eight scoreless innings in the Bulldogs’ 4-0 win. He recorded six straight outs via strikeout in the sixth and seventh innings, and the junior from Sturgis, Mich., threw

3-17 from: - http://web.goldenspikesaward.com/index.html?page=news_archive&article_id=60 - Wojciechowski, a physical 6-foot-4, 235-pound right-hander, dominated the Catamounts on Friday, striking out 14 without issuing a walk over eight scoreless innings. He scattered six hits and took over in the middle innings, recording six straight outs via strikeouts in the sixth and seventh innings. "Asher has pitched some outstanding games for us, but that was one of the best -- if not the best -- he has had," Citadel coach Fred Jordan said. "He was effortless, and he threw four pitches for strikes. From the third inning on until the eighth he really just dominated the game."

3-27 from: - http://mlbbonusbaby.com: - Asher Wojciechowski, RHP, The Citadel - I think I struck a nerve a couple weeks ago when I pointed out Wojciechowski’s outing against Western Carolina lasted 138 pitches. Aside from the fact that this wasn’t too good for his arm that early in the season, the reason he went so deep is because his stuff is downright devastating this year. He has improved his raw stuff to the point that he’s seen as a possible number two or three starter, but since he doesn’t face top competition, he might suffer in terms of draft stock.

4-19 from: - http://www.pnrscouting.com/rankings_2010_midseason_pitcher.html - Junior, The Citadel was off the preseason Top 50 Pitchers but was comfortably in the Top 200 overall and has rocketed up to supplemental-1st Round territory with a very strong spring. Thus far he ranks 2nd among all Div-I pitchers in total strikeouts (74), behind only Drew Pomeranz, Junior, Univ. of Mississippi, and 12th with an 11.89 SO/9 rate. He also ranked #12 on the PnR Team USA Top 15 after racking-up a12.63 SO/9 rate and a team-leading 7.25 SO/BB ratio over 20.2 IP.

4-21 from: - http://www.minorleagueball.com/2010/4/21/1435424/interesting-college-pitchers-for - RHP, The Citadel - A fast riser, the 6-4, 205 pounder has a 2.49 ERA with an 86/19 K?BB in 65 innings this spring, with 51 hits allowed, showing excellent component ratios. He has the stuff to go with the numbers: 90-94 MPH fastball, hitting 95-96 at times, along with a good slider. His other pitches need some work, but he throws strikes most of the time and has good mechanics. He'll have to sharpen his secondary stuff to start at higher levels, but he should have the aptitude to do so. I like him at the bottom part of the first round.

5-3 from: http://www.baseballrumormill.com/2010/05/top-small-school-pitchers/#more – top small school pitchers: - Asher Wojciechowski, The Citadel, RHP - Ranked #28, Wojciechowski seems a more legitimate first round pick. He's improved his command this season and scouts love that he does the little things well such as hold runners on and field his position.

5-10 from: - http://www.baseballrumormill.com - Even pitching for a small school, Asher could not avoid the big name malaise that's running through college baseball. Wojciechowski equally as bad, giving up six earned runs on seven hits and four walks in five innings pitched while striking out four.
