Wiard Wins Best SL1 Pitcher Friday, May 1st, 1970 Jason Wiard left little doubt in the minds of Conference 1 officials that he should be named April's Pitcher of the Month for his outstanding performance. "I wasn't always confident at the start of a game," said Wiard. "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 16-year-old tossed 32.1 innings of quality baseball -- going 4-0 with a 1.95 ERA and 26 strikeouts. |
