Burda Premier Pitcher in July Sunday, August 1st , 2083 The Beta Conference Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Brian Burda of San Bernadino for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Burda 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 San Bernadino starter notched a 6-0 record with a 2.42 ERA last month. He made 2 starts and struck out 23 in 22.1 innings. Burda has posted a 12-4 record for the year with a 2.91 ERA. Teams are hitting .240 against him and he has rung up 126 strikeouts in 123.2 innings. |
