Lake Elsinore's Hentges Chosen August's Best in NC Saturday, September 1st, 2018 Sam Hentges left little doubt in the minds of National Conference officials that he should be named August's Pitcher of the Month for his outstanding performance. "I wasn't always confident at the start of a game," said Hentges. "Sometimes it's hard to get into the flow -- the calls aren't going your way or you're trying to spot your pitches too much. You just have to relax and use what you've been taught all your life -- get back to basics -- good mechanics, control, location, keep the ball down." The 22-year-old tossed 43 innings of quality baseball -- going 5-0 with a 1.88 ERA and 40 strikeouts. Hentges has fashioned a 15-4 mark for the season, 2.56 ERA and thrown 169 innings in 28 starts. Opposing clubs are batting .209 against him. |
