de Valk Top SAA Pitcher in August Friday, September 1st, 2028 The USSL Double A Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Lance de Valk of Durham for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," de Valk 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 Durham starter notched a 4-0 record with a 2.27 ERA last month. He made 5 starts and struck out 30 in 35.2 innings. Looking at his season stats, de Valk has won 9 and lost 3, collecting 79 strikeouts and 40 walks in 125.2 innings with a 3.44 ERA. |
