"The Franchise" wins his 19th career Pitcher of the Month

Hville, Tn (AP) - Scott Hill is no stranger to awards and putting up ridiculous stats, but even the 33-year old Hill was impressed with his May.  

"I've been in a pretty good zone this year," said Hill once hearing the news.  "April was pretty good and May was even better."

The H'ville Ace had one of his most impressive months of his award studded career in May.  Making 5 starts and winning all 5 with a ridiculous 0.73 ERA and an even lower WHIP at 0.63 WHIP, 66 K's, 5 BB's, 19 Hits and a 1.82 FIP in 37.0 IP.

The Pitcher of the Month award was Hill's 19th of his career, by far a BSA record and his 2nd straight as he won #THELeagues April POTM also.  Hill will get an early start on the June POTM award as he gets two starts in the next sim on June 1st at San Fran and then again June 6th at Boston.

So far on the season "The Franchise" is in the hunt for another Pitching "Triple Crown" as he leads all of BSA in K's (78), ERA (1.40) and is 2nd in wins with 8 behind the John "The Ageless Wonder" Garrett.

His stat line on the season looks like this:

11 GS, 8-1, 1.40 ERA, 1.94 FIP, 78 K's, 9 BB's, 55 Hits, 9.12 K/9, 8.67 K/BB, .193 Opp Avg.  77.0 IP (avg 7.0 IP/Gm), 3.4 WAR, 31.8 VORP
