East Announces Best Starter
The <Ocean City Crabpots:team#25> owe <Luis Zarate:player#5192> a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in September, <Zarate:player#5192> tore up the opposition with a fine 2-0 mark on his way to the East Pitcher of the Month award.

"When you're pitching this well," analyzed <Zarate:player#5192>, "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 Zarate who did the banging in September as he tossed up 12 strikeouts in 12 innings, holding opponents to a .108 average and posting a 0.00 ERA.

To date this season <Zarate:player#5192> has compiled a 8-2 record with a 1.26 ERA in 0 starts.
