Darryl Kile League Announces #1 Starter Tuesday, June 1st, 2032 Reno Raiders hurler Gerardo Estrada was rewarded today with the Darryl Kile League Pitcher of the Month honors. Estrada, 32, realizes that pitching isn't all about how hard you can throw, it's about accuracy and about picking yourself up even when you've had a run of bad luck. "I'd like to say I don't give them anything to hit," said the Reno starter, "but that's not true. Every pitcher gives up a long ball now and then. Usually there's at least one mistake in each at-bat, but you've got to battle through your mistakes and build some positive momentum. The rest will fall into place." Things did fall into place for Estrada. In May he took the ball for 31 innings while notching 19 strikeouts, a 2.03 ERA and a 4-0 record. This year Estrada has recorded a 5-2 mark. In 11 starts he has fanned 38 batters in 64 innings with a 3.52 ERA. |
