McGinnis CL's #1 Pitcher in September
Wednesday, October 1st, 2098: The
Havana Banana Sluggers owe
Ed McGinnis a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in September,
McGinnis tore up the opposition with a fine 5-1 mark on his way to the Continental League Pitcher of the Month award.
"When you're pitching this well," analyzed
McGinnis, "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 McGinnis who did the banging in September as he tossed up 39 strikeouts in 46.1 innings, holding opponents to a .178 average and posting a 1.75 ERA.
This season
McGinnis has fanned 187 in 227.1 innings and collected a 18-11 record with a 3.13 ERA.
