AL Top Pitcher Award for September to Campbell Saturday, October 1st , 2050 The Frisco RoughRiders owe Curt Campbell a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in September, Campbell tore up the opposition with a fine 4-0 mark on his way to the American League Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Campbell, "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 Campbell who did the banging in September as he tossed up 31 strikeouts in 38 innings, holding opponents to a .169 average and posting a 0.71 ERA. For the season, Campbell has a record of 14 wins and 5 losses in 25 appearances. He has an ERA of 2.10 and has fanned 165 batters in 176 innings. |
