July's EC Top Pitcher is Fightin' Illini Welch Sunday, August 1st , 2032 A money pitcher -- the guy to bet on, when the chips are down. That's a very good description of a bullpen specialist. And one of the best in the league is Tony Welch of the Illinois Fightin' Illini. He was outstanding in July and was named the Pitcher of the Month in the Eastern Conference. In July, Illinois's star reliever held the opposition to a .154 average and put up 8 saves and 7 strikeouts in 13 innings with a 4-0 mark and a 0.69 ERA. To date Welch has 21 saves with a 6-4 season record and a 2.58 ERA. He also has made 38 relief appearances, thrown 38.1 innings and struck out 30. |
