It’s tough being a pitcher in the PCL so sometime looking at ERA and even WHIP aren’t always indicative of a quality season. Still, here were some of the ‘Topes best pitchers in 2011
Dana Eveland – Eveland led the team in innings (154), Wins (12), strikeouts (107) and walks (61). Still, there’s a lot of good here. HE did have a 4.38 ERA but keep the PCL in mind. He also only gave up just eleven home runs in his 25 starts. Eveland was the workhorse on the team and this did translate into some success with the Dodgers where he had five solid starts.
Merkin Valdez – Valdez was on of the ‘Topes better relievers. He struck out 43 in 50 1/3 innings for the Topes and he finished with four saves and four wins. He gave up only one home run all season and oddly, his groundball ratio wasn’t that extreme. His 3.58 ERA was one of the best on the team.
