June 1st, 2026

BILOXI, MS – Minor League Baseball announced today that Biloxi Shuckers pitcher Jaron DeBerry has been named the Southern League Pitcher of the Week. It marks the second Southern League Pitcher of the Week award in DeBerry’s career and his first since August 24, 2025, which also marks the last time a Shuckers pitcher earned Southern League honors.

In a start in game two of a doubleheader on May 30 at Columbus, DeBerry recorded the 11th complete game shutout in Shuckers franchise history DeBerry carried a no-hit bid into the fifth inning and ended the night having faced three batters over the minimum. The complete game shutout was the first in a non-rain-shortened game since Trey Supak on July 16, 2019, against the Chattanooga Lookouts. It marked the first by a Shuckers pitcher in a road game since July 23, 2017, when Aaron Wilkerson achieved the feat against the Mississippi Braves at Trustmark Park. DeBerry’s only previous complete game shutout came on April 10, 2021, at Northern Oklahoma College-Enid against National Park College, in his fourth career college start. 

Across his last 4 starts, DeBerry holds a 2.77 ERA (8er, 26.0ip) with 7 walks, 31 strikeouts and a .133 opponents average. DeBerry enters today among the Southern League leaders in opponents average (4th, .199), strikeouts (5th, 53), innings (6th, 48.1), ERA (8th, 4.84) and WHIP (9th, 1.30).
