Reese Selected MID's Best Pitcher Tuesday, August 1st , 2051 The Madison Muskies owe Hunter Reese a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in July, Reese tore up the opposition with a fine 4-0 mark on his way to the Midwest League Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Reese, "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 Reese who did the banging in July as he tossed up 40 strikeouts in 31.1 innings, holding opponents to a .156 average and posting a 1.15 ERA. This season Reese has crafted a 9-4 mark with a 2.52 ERA in 114.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .211 against him and he has 120 strikeouts. |
