Browns Starter Named August's Premier Pitcher Friday, September 1st , 2084 The Eastern Conference Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Alberto Vasquez of Brooklyn for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Vasquez told reporters when asked who he credits for his pitching ability. "I was an outfielder until high school and on the third day of tryouts my coach came up and said, 'Son you couldn't hit a lick even if we put it on a tee for ya.' Well, that ticked me off, so I decided if I couldn't hit I wanted to make sure no one else could either and so here I am." It all turned out for the best as the Brooklyn starter notched a 4-0 record with a 1.05 ERA last month. He made 5 starts and struck out 34 in 34.1 innings. In 27 starts this season, Vasquez has compiled a 14-8 record and a 2.92 ERA. |
