Holy cow! It's late August, and I've only had one pitcher win the MLBoyfriend title this season--and pitching was only half of why Shohei Ohtani won in April. Cal Quantrill's 13 shut-out innings last week finally got a pitcher the title.
On Tuesday, August 18, Quantrill pitched 7 full innings giving up just 4 hits, 0 walks, and 0 earned runs. Then, in 6 full innings on Sunday, August 23, he gave up 6 hits, 0 walks (again!), and 0 earned runs. He ended the week with 2 wins, a 0.77 WHIP and 0.00 ERA.
Finally, Cal gets bonus points for being Canadian.
Congratulations, Cal Quantrill! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.
