McCaskill Picks up AL Monthly Pitching Honor Thursday, May 1st , 2025 The American League Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Kirk McCaskill of Chicago 1993 for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," McCaskill told reporters when asked who he credits for his pitching ability. "I was an outfielder until high school and on the third day of tryouts my coach came up and said, 'Son you couldn't hit a lick even if we put it on a tee for ya.' Well, that ticked me off, so I decided if I couldn't hit I wanted to make sure no one else could either and so here I am." It all turned out for the best as the Chicago 1993 starter notched a 4-0 record with a 1.41 ERA last month. He made 2 starts and struck out 17 in 38.1 innings. Currently McCaskill has a record of 6-0 with 21 strikeouts and 26 walks in 50.1 innings and a 1.97 ERA. |
