Finlater Selected IBL's Best Pitcher Tuesday, September 1st , 2144 The Rome Generals celebrated today after the news filtered through the clubhouse that Gregor Finlater had been selected as August's Intercontinental Baseball League Pitcher of the Month. Finlater'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," Finlater 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." Finlater tossed 35 innings last month, holding opponents to a .209 average while striking out 29 batters. In 5 starting assignments he came away with a 4-0 record, putting together an ERA of 1.29. This season Finlater has crafted a 12-8 mark with a 2.66 ERA in 165.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .252 against him and he has 140 strikeouts. |
