R Selects Hannaford September's Best Pitcher Saturday, October 1st , 2022 The PBC Rookie Complex League Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Jared Hannaford of Toronto (R) for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Hannaford 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 Toronto (R) starter notched a 5-1 record with a 2.63 ERA last month. He made 6 starts and struck out 43 in 41 innings. This season, Hannaford has gone 8-7 with an ERA of 5.31, posting 118 strikeouts in 120.1 innings. |
