Skagway Starter Named AL's Best Pitcher Thursday, September 1st , 2039 The Skagway Prospectors celebrated today after the news filtered through the clubhouse that José Flores had been selected as August's Alaskan League Pitcher of the Month. Flores's zest for the game has been a frequent topic on the sports pages and his numbers of late have made his fans even more enthusiastic. "Our coaching staff really helps me prepare well," Flores said, "and the fans feed off good pitching. Your pitches just seem to have that extra pop to them when the fans are behind you and you feel confident you can get outs." Flores tossed 30.2 innings last month, holding opponents to a .150 average while striking out 32 batters. In 5 starting assignments he came away with a 4-0 record, putting together an ERA of 0.29. In 17 starts this year Flores has crafted a 7-7 record and a 4.83 ERA. |
