Stampede Starter Named July's Premier Pitcher Sunday, August 1st , 2021 Lubbock Stampede hurler Chris Casady was rewarded today with the Stars Conference Pitcher of the Month honors. Casady, 27, realizes that pitching isn't all about how hard you can throw, it's about accuracy and about picking yourself up even when you've had a run of bad luck. "I'd like to say I don't give them anything to hit," said the Lubbock starter, "but that's not true. Every pitcher gives up a long ball now and then. Usually there's at least one mistake in each at-bat, but you've got to battle through your mistakes and build some positive momentum. The rest will fall into place." Things did fall into place for Casady. In July he took the ball for 39.2 innings while notching 39 strikeouts, a 1.59 ERA and a 5-0 record. This year, Casady has a 10-6 record with a 3.77 ERA in 21 starts. |
