Florentino Grabs AC Top Pitcher Trophy Wednesday, May 1st , 2086 The Joliet Blues celebrated today after the news filtered through the clubhouse that Jon Florentino had been selected as April's Alpha Conference Pitcher of the Month. Florentino's zest for the game has been a frequent topic on the sports pages and his numbers of late have made his fans even more enthusiastic. "Our coaching staff really helps me prepare well," Florentino said, "and the fans feed off good pitching. Your pitches just seem to have that extra pop to them when the fans are behind you and you feel confident you can get outs." Florentino tossed 37 innings last month, holding opponents to a .176 average while striking out 31 batters. In 5 starting assignments he came away with a 3-2 record, putting together an ERA of 1.22. |
