Seriously. Who else could baseball possibly name pitcher of the month? Not even going to name anyone else. No one is more worthy than the Royals' Zack Greinke. Yesterday, Major League Baseball named Greinke April's American League Pitcher of the Month.
Behold Greinke's awesomeness in April:
Showing 1-5 of 5
Stats are not current and don't include Monday's shutout- author probably pulled them from the April POM press release.
From Joe Posnanski's blog:
There have been 8 complete games thus far in the AL.
Greinke has 3 of them.
There have been two complete game shutouts in the AL.
Greinke has BOTH of them.
His ERA+ is 1173. This is a stat geek's way of saying he has been 11.73 times better than an average AL pitcher.
