Hyenas Ashcraft April's #1 Pitcher Wednesday, May 1st , 2052 The East Haddam Hyenas owe Steve Ashcraft a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in April, Ashcraft tore up the opposition with a fine 4-0 mark on his way to the Federation League Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Ashcraft, "it's a lot easier to come to the park. I don't judge my performance by the stats, I judge it -- the team judges it -- by the score of the game. I could say I'm tossing electric stuff right now and that would go over big. But if I toss that same stuff -- exact same pitch selection and location -- and they bang me around tomorrow, I was awful. That's the way baseball is." It was Ashcraft who did the banging in April as he tossed up 66 strikeouts in 50.1 innings, holding opponents to a .109 average and posting a 1.07 ERA. |
