August's Pitcher of the Month Goes to Rojas Tuesday, September 1st , 1914 The Jalisco Jinetes owe Adrián Rojas a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in August, Rojas tore up the opposition with a fine 4-1 mark on his way to the Norte Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Rojas, "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 Rojas who did the banging in August as he tossed up 23 strikeouts in 40 innings, holding opponents to a .171 average and posting a 1.12 ERA. So far this season, Rojas has a 14-7 record, 20 starts, 181.1 innings, 96 strikeouts and a 1.94 ERA. |
