Navarrete Voted Best LB Pitcher in August Tuesday, September 1st , 1885 The Morovis Titanes owe Santiago Navarrete a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in August, Navarrete tore up the opposition with a fine 8-1 mark on his way to the Liga Betances Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Navarrete, "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 Navarrete who did the banging in August as he tossed up 52 strikeouts in 78.2 innings, holding opponents to a .154 average and posting a 0.80 ERA. In 35 starts this year Navarrete has crafted a 21-9 record and a 2.22 ERA. |
