CALL Pick for Top Pitcher in September is May Monday, October 1st , 1979 The California League Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Robert May of Santa Clara for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," May told reporters when asked who he credits for his pitching ability. "I was an outfielder until high school and on the third day of tryouts my coach came up and said, 'Son you couldn't hit a lick even if we put it on a tee for ya.' Well, that ticked me off, so I decided if I couldn't hit I wanted to make sure no one else could either and so here I am." It all turned out for the best as the Santa Clara starter notched a 5-0 record with a 1.85 ERA last month. He made 5 starts and struck out 32 in 43.2 innings. So far this year May has compiled a 24-5 record with a 1.84 ERA. |
