Lake County Ace Wins AL Outstanding Pitcher Award Wednesday, November 24th , 2049 What does it take to win the Outstanding Pitcher Award? Just ask Gordie Pierson of the Lake County Captains -- the latest American League Outstanding Pitcher Award winner. "My dad always told me to dream big and dream always," he said. "It's not like I shoot for the Outstanding Pitcher Award," he said. "I have big aspirations for what I want to do in this game and what I want to achieve in a long career." The Captains pitching ace made some of his dreams come true this year, winning 14 games and losing only 8. In 29 starts, Pierson registered a 2.09 ERA and limited other clubs to a .191 batting average. He fanned 217 in 202.2 innings and issued 38 walks. He received 22 first place votes out of a possible 30. Jon Sosa of the Lansing Lugnuts finished second in voting with 6 first place votes, while Tom Frost of the Lake County Captains finished third with 2 first place votes.
