September's #1 Hurler Announced: Misitana Thursday, October 1st , 2065 The Kokopo Heat celebrated today after the news filtered through the clubhouse that Joe Misitana had been selected as September's Melanesia AA Pitcher of the Month. Misitana'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," Misitana 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." Misitana tossed 38.2 innings last month, holding opponents to a .201 average while striking out 46 batters. In 5 starting assignments he came away with a 4-0 record, putting together an ERA of 2.09. This year Misitana has posted a 10-8 mark in 22 starts and has a 2.54 ERA. |
