Hammond Starter Named PA's Best Pitcher Monday, July 1st, 2024 The Hammond Herons celebrated today after the news filtered through the clubhouse that Gordon Neugebauer had been selected as June's USPL Single A Pitcher of the Month. Neugebauer's zest for the game has been a frequent topic on the sports pages and his numbers of late have made his fans even more enthusiastic. "Our coaching staff really helps me prepare well," Neugebauer said, "and the fans feed off good pitching. Your pitches just seem to have that extra pop to them when the fans are behind you and you feel confident you can get outs." Neugebauer tossed 36 innings last month, holding opponents to a .177 average while striking out 41 batters. In 6 starting assignments he came away with a 3-0 record, putting together an ERA of 0.50. This season Neugebauer has crafted a 7-0 mark with a 0.98 ERA in 73.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .171 against him and he has 82 strikeouts. |
