Escobar Snags S-A Top Hurler Trophy Saturday, May 1st , 2021 The Southern A Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Jon Escobar of Barrie for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Escobar 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 Barrie starter notched a 4-1 record with a 2.02 ERA last month. He made 5 starts and struck out 29 in 26.2 innings. |
