Republic League Announces #1 Starter
Despite the number of years he's been in the league, Javier Zúñiga still gets excited when he puts together a quality stretch like he had in May. The 28-year-old starter for New York was named Republic League Pitcher of the Month earlier today.
He collected 5 wins and no losses with 18 strikeouts in his 6 starts, putting up a fine 1.85 ERA in 48.2 innings of work.
This year Zúñiga has worked 75 innings with 31 strikeouts en route to a 8-1 record and a 2.76 ERA.
