June's Best Hurler in ZAP is Thompson Thursday, July 1st , 2032 The Churchill Rebels owe Marcus Thompson a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in June, Thompson tore up the opposition with a fine 4-0 mark on his way to the Zaphod Conference Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Thompson, "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 Thompson who did the banging in June as he tossed up 14 strikeouts in 25.2 innings, holding opponents to a .200 average and posting a 1.75 ERA. This year Thompson has worked 88.1 innings with 55 strikeouts en route to a 12-0 record and 2.85 ERA. |
