Rock Cats Hurler Named August's Top Starter Wednesday, September 1st , 1926 The St. Petersburg Rock Cats owe Genci Ramadani a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in August, Ramadani tore up the opposition with a fine 5-2 mark on his way to the Independent League West Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Ramadani, "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 Ramadani who did the banging in August as he tossed up 42 strikeouts in 62.1 innings, holding opponents to a .196 average and posting a 1.59 ERA. His record this season is 10-6 in 17 starts and Ramadani has a 2.11 ERA. |
