July's AL Top Pitcher is Knights Mooney Saturday, August 1st , 2048 The Alliance League Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Sam Mooney of Brooklyn for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Mooney 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 4-1 record with a 2.77 ERA last month. He made 6 starts and struck out 53 in 39 innings. Checking out his stats for the season, Mooney has registered 13 wins and 8 losses in 23 starts, posted a 3.91 ERA, and struck out 175 batters in 145 innings. |
