Ghana Academy Starter July's Best Pitcher Thursday, August 1st, 1991 Ghana Academy Black Stars hurler Harald Rommelstedt was rewarded today with the African-Asian Baseball Alliance Pitcher of the Month honors. Rommelstedt, 16, realizes that pitching isn't all about how hard you can throw, it's about accuracy and about picking yourself up even when you've had a run of bad luck. "I'd like to say I don't give them anything to hit," said the Ghana Academy starter, "but that's not true. Every pitcher gives up a long ball now and then. Usually there's at least one mistake in each at-bat, but you've got to battle through your mistakes and build some positive momentum. The rest will fall into place." Things did fall into place for Rommelstedt. In July he took the ball for 26 innings while notching 17 strikeouts, a 1.04 ERA and a 3-0 record. |
