AC Announces Best Pitcher for July Saturday, August 1st , 2026 Oklahoma City Dodgers hurler Angel Yepez was rewarded today with the American Conference Pitcher of the Month honors. Yepez, 31, 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 Oklahoma City 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 Yepez. In July he took the ball for 28.2 innings while notching 27 strikeouts, a 0.63 ERA and a 4-0 record. This year, Yepez has recorded a 5-0 mark. In 6 starts he has fanned 35 batters in 40.1 innings with a 2.01 ERA. |
