Bacardi Grabs IBL-A Top Pitcher Trophy Friday, June 1st , 2136 The Intercontinental Baseball League Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Celestino Bacardi of Bielefeld for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Bacardi 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 Bielefeld starter notched a 5-1 record with a 2.18 ERA last month. He made 6 starts and struck out 45 in 41.1 innings. In 10 starts this year Bacardi has fashioned a 8-2 record and a 3.08 ERA. |
