Saints Starter Named April's Premier Pitcher Wednesday, May 1st, 1991 There's something about a young rookie winning the DC Prepatory Schools Pitcher of the Month trophy that sends shock waves through the league. Such is the case with Iván Mendoza, a 18-year-old starter for the St. Stephens Saints. In April, he topped off the month with a 4-1 mark and 1.24 ERA in 6 starts, tossed 43.2 innings, fanned 28 and held opposing teams to a .230 average. So far this year Mendoza has made 13 starts, tossed 86.1 innings, struck out 57 batters and walked 20. His record is 8-1 with a 1.98 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .249 batting average. |
