Former Binghamton University baseball player Scott Diamond has been named the Minnesota Twins’ Pitcher of the Year and Most Outstanding Rookie for 2012. The organization announced the winners of its annual Diamond Awards, voted on by members of the local chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, on Oct. 30.

Diamond became the first baseball player out of Binghamton University to reach the Major Leagues when he was called up by the Twins in 2011. After starting seven games for the Twins in his debut season, Diamond registered 27 starts in 2012, his first full season in the majors. The left-hander led the team in wins, starts and innings pitched and finished the year with a 12-9 record and a 3.54 ERA.

Diamond was the only member of the Twins to record a complete-game shutout this season when he gave up three hits against the Cleveland Indians on July 27. His 90 strikeouts were good for second on the team and his 1.24 WHIP ranked 12th in the American League.
