Maloney Gets July's Top Pitcher Trophy: The Glowing Sea League Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Charlie Maloney of Mass Pike Interchange for a superlative month.
"I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Maloney 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 Mass Pike Interchange starter notched a 4-0 record with a 1.69 ERA last month. He made 5 starts and struck out 37 in 42.2 innings.
This season Maloney has crafted a 12-3 mark with a 2.42 ERA in 141.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .228 against him and he has 118 strikeouts.
