July's Top Hurler is Shibu Saturday, August 1st , 2144 The Americas Baseball League Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Bindu Shibu of Oakland for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Shibu 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 Oakland starter notched a 5-0 record with a 1.78 ERA last month. He made 5 starts and struck out 44 in 35.1 innings. In 15 starts this year Shibu has fashioned a 10-3 record and a 2.08 ERA. |
