Angel Cuenca had an excellent month to start the season leading the teams in ERA and innings pitched, and also tied in strikeouts.  Edgar Manzo quietly had a solid June as he struck out 21 over 18.2 innings and had a 2.41 ERA.  Reinys Portillo and Gustavo Rodriguez both kept their ERA’s below two.  Ludwin Jimenez was not as strong as the above mentioned but did receive a promotion to the states.  Wilmer Ortega struck out 17 over 17.1 innings and had a 3.12 ERA as another starting arm to keep an eye on.

Cuenca slid a little in the second month of the season but was still a great opener on either team.  Rodriguez was the best during the month of July only allowing one run over 21 innings and striking out 21.  Ortega continued his strong season in July with a 1.35 ERA.

Cuenca missed a little time in the final month of the season but still led all starters with 20 strikeouts.  Henry Gomez earned himself a spot in the rotations and was one of the better arms in August.  Portillo was the top starter for the month with his 0.60 ERA and struck out 19 over 15 innings.  Engels Martinez finally turned things around after a rough first two months to become a help in the rotation.

Reinys Portillo, Gustavo Rodriguez, and Wilmer Ortega were excellent starting pitchers and make strong cases for ‘Starting Pitcher of the Year’ but Angel Cuenca was just a tad better than all three and will receive the award for the 2019 season.
