Continental League Names #1 Pitcher in August
Tuesday, September 1st, 2139: What
Matt Adams of the
Napa Valley Winemakers did to Continental League hitters in August was criminal. He assaulted them, broke them and walked off leaving them lifeless and lost as he stole away with the Pitcher of the Month award for his barbaric behavior.
"
Adams was truly dominant out there," an opposing hitter said to reporters. "He really made hitters miserable."
The 25-year-old reliever threw 22.1 innings in 18 relief appearances as he registered 7 saves, 21 strikeouts, and notched a 2-0 record and 0.00 ERA for the month.
This year
Adams has collected 21 saves in 67 relief appearances. He has also compiled a 6-6 won-lost mark with a 2.11 ERA and fanned 79 batters in 81 innings. Opponents are hitting him at a .212 clip in 2139.
RL Picks August's Top Pitcher
Tuesday, September 1st, 2139: This month the Republic League spotlight fell on pitcher
Harold Smith of the
Los Angeles Bruins.
What a August he had!
A fine 4-1 won-lost record, 3.02 ERA, 6 starts, 44.2 innings pitched and 25 strikeouts -- good enough to get him the RL Pitcher of the Month.
Looking at his season stats,
Smith has won 13 and lost 6, collecting 123 strikeouts and 59 walks in 173.1 innings with a 3.48 ERA.
