Fleet Lemus June's Top Hurler Monday, July 1st , 2024 The National Conference Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Rodrigo Lemus of San Diego for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Lemus 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 Diego starter notched a 5-0 record with a 2.75 ERA last month. He made 6 starts and struck out 59 in 39.1 innings. Over the season Lemus has thrown 121.2 innings and dished out 174 strikeouts with a 11-3 mark and a 3.03 ERA. |
