Nunez Voted Best AL Pitcher in June Wednesday, July 1st , 2048 The American League Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Rich Nunez of West Michigan for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Nunez 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 West Michigan starter notched a 4-1 record with a 0.64 ERA last month. He made 6 starts and struck out 23 in 42.1 innings. In 16 starts this season, Nunez has picked up 7 wins while suffering 6 losses. He has pitched 97.2 innings, allowed 97 hits, struck out 59 and posted a 3.32 ERA. |
