_Phillies.jpg) | Tuesday, August 1st, 2017: July's #1 Hurler Announced - Oritz Winner The Philadelphia (N) Phillies owe Keith Oritz a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in July, Oritz tore up the opposition with a fine 4-0 mark on his way to the National League Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Oritz, "it's a lot easier to come to the park. I don't judge my performance by the stats, I judge it -- the team judges it -- by the score of the game. I could say I'm tossing electric stuff right now and that would go over big. But if I toss that same stuff -- exact same pitch selection and location -- and they bang me around tomorrow, I was awful. That's the way baseball is." It was Oritz who did the banging in July as he tossed up 33 strikeouts in 36 innings, holding opponents to a .212 average and posting a 1.25 ERA. In 21 starts this season Oritz has recorded a 14-2 record and a 2.30 ERA. |
