Rodríguez Takes RL #1 Pitcher Trophy
As Bartolo Rodríguez hoisted up the Republic League Pitcher of the Month trophy for April, rumors have already begun to swirl about whether he will leave Ann Arbor once his contract is up at the end of the season.
Rodríguez put pressure on the Winged Lingerines to keep him around by posting a 5-1 record and an ERA of 2.78 over 45.1 innings last month. He also rolled up 33 strikeouts, increasing his value both to Ann Arbor and to every other team in the league.
