New Orleans Relief Star Selected Best Pitcher Thursday, October 1st, 2026 Juan Méndez has been around the league long enough to know that relievers are often overlooked. That has never stopped him from doing what he does best -- and he did it extremely well in September and stole away with the National League Pitcher of the Month award. The Looters bullpen ace collected 8 saves and 17 strikeouts in 16.2 innings, holding the opposition to a .226 average and posting a 0.54 ERA and a 3-1 record. This season Méndez has notched 36 saves. In 67 relief appearances, he has 90 strikeouts in 75 innings with a 2.28 ERA. His season won-lost mark is 9-5. |
