| Tuesday, September 1st, 2009: Beattie Nabs AL #1 Pitcher Award
Eric Beattie left little doubt in the minds of American League 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 Beattie. "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 27-year-old tossed 50 innings of quality baseball -- going 6-0 with a 0.72 ERA and 54 strikeouts.
Thus far this season, Beattie has worked 216.2 innings with 240 strikeouts en route to a 18-3 record and a 2.16 ERA.
