May's Best SL2 Hurler is Carter Saturday, June 1st , 2024 Sikeston Shamrocks hurler Keith Carter was rewarded today with the Sub League 2 Pitcher of the Month honors. Carter, 21, 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 Sikeston 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 Carter. In May he took the ball for 35 innings while notching 26 strikeouts, a 1.54 ERA and a 4-1 record. This season, Carter has rung up 5 wins and 2 losses in 11 games. He has an ERA of 2.32 and has fanned 45 batters in 54.1 innings. |
