Smith Named Top AL Hurler Monday, October 1st , 2001 Phenomenal Smith hated to see September turn to October. And who could blame him? The 22-year-old hurler piled up 5 wins and no losses for the Cuban Giants last month and won the American League Pitcher of the Month award for his efforts. Smith stymied opposing batters on 26 base hits and a .206 batting average. He rang up 40 strikeouts in 36.1 innings of work, surrendered 13 walks and fashioned a sparkling 1.98 ERA. So far this year, Smith has made 5 starts, tossed 36.1 innings, struck out 40 batters and walked 13. His record is 5-0 with a 1.98 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .206 batting average. |
