AC Top Pitcher Award for June to Rowland Saturday, July 1st , 2084 The Rockford Bulldogs owe Henry Rowland a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in June, Rowland tore up the opposition with a fine 4-0 mark on his way to the Alpha Conference Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Rowland, "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 Rowland who did the banging in June as he tossed up 26 strikeouts in 36.2 innings, holding opponents to a .160 average and posting a 1.96 ERA. His record this season is 7-1 in 16 starts and Rowland has a 3.90 ERA. |
