McCutcheon Premier Pitcher in May Wednesday, June 1st , 2022 The Cincinnati Bombardiers owe Steve McCutcheon a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in May, McCutcheon tore up the opposition with a fine 5-1 mark on his way to the Western AA Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed McCutcheon, "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 McCutcheon who did the banging in May as he tossed up 38 strikeouts in 48 innings, holding opponents to a .152 average and posting a 0.75 ERA. This season, McCutcheon has worked 77.2 innings with 60 strikeouts en route to a 6-2 record and a 1.62 ERA. |
