FF Outstanding Pitcher Award Goes to Forbes: What does it take to win the Outstanding Pitcher Award?
Just ask Ky Forbes of the Quebec Fighting Quakers -- the latest Futures Federation Outstanding Pitcher Award winner. "My dad always told me to dream big and dream always," he said. "It's not like I shoot for the Outstanding Pitcher Award," he said. "I have big aspirations for what I want to do in this game and what I want to achieve in a long career." The Fighting Quakers pitching ace made some of his dreams come true this year, winning 4 games and losing only 1. In 9 starts, Forbes registered a 1.91 ERA and limited other clubs to a .191 batting average. He fanned 54 in 61.1 innings and issued 19 walks. He received 14 first place votes out of a possible 24. Arthur Helman of the Reno Railers finished second in voting with 7 first place votes, while Dylan Montgomery of the Quebec Fighting Quakers finished third with 1 first place vote.
