Yáñez Wins EFBA Top Pitcher Award Monday, September 1st , 1913 The Waco Mammoths celebrated today after the news filtered through the clubhouse that Crisóstomo Yáñez had been selected as August's Eastern Association Pitcher of the Month. Yáñez'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," Yáñez 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." Yáñez tossed 46 innings last month, holding opponents to a .226 average while striking out 51 batters. In 5 starting assignments he came away with a 4-1 record, putting together an ERA of 1.96. This season, Yáñez has compiled a 21-13 mark with a 4.03 ERA in 31 starts. |
