Lynn McGlothen

McGlothen Best EL Starter

Lynn McGlothen left little doubt in the minds of Eastern League officials that he should be named June's Pitcher of the Month for his outstanding performance.

"I wasn't always confident at the start of a game," said McGlothen. "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 20-year-old tossed 48.2 innings of quality baseball -- going 5-1 with a 3.70 ERA and 34 strikeouts.

Checking out his stats for the year, McGlothen has racked up 6 wins and 4 losses in 13 starts, posted a 4.70 ERA, and struck out 59 batters in 84.1 innings.
