ABL-AAA's Premier Starter is Paek Tuesday, August 1st , 2147 The Ecatapec Aztecs owe Soong-yong Paek a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in July, Paek tore up the opposition with a fine 3-0 mark on his way to the Americas Baseball League Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Paek, "it's a lot easier to come to the park. I don't judge my performance by the stats, I judge it -- the team judges it -- by the score of the game. I could say I'm tossing electric stuff right now and that would go over big. But if I toss that same stuff -- exact same pitch selection and location -- and they bang me around tomorrow, I was awful. That's the way baseball is." It was Paek who did the banging in July as he tossed up 30 strikeouts in 32 innings, holding opponents to a .236 average and posting a 2.25 ERA. For the season Paek has logged 5 wins and 6 losses and struck out 105 batters in 118.2 innings while compiling a 3.56 ERA. |
