Davis Selected ABL's Best Pitcher Wednesday, September 1st , 1976 The Atlanta Generals celebrated today after the news filtered through the clubhouse that Bill Davis had been selected as August's American Baseball League Pitcher of the Month. Davis's zest for the game has been a frequent topic on the sports pages and his numbers of late have made his fans even more enthusiastic. "Our coaching staff really helps me prepare well," Davis said, "and the fans feed off good pitching. Your pitches just seem to have that extra pop to them when the fans are behind you and you feel confident you can get outs." Davis tossed 46 innings last month, holding opponents to a .221 average while striking out 25 batters. In 6 starting assignments he came away with a 5-0 record, putting together an ERA of 1.17. This year, Davis has a 15-5 record and a 1.91 ERA. |
