Sonnanstine is Southern League Player of the Month
Going 6-0 in six starts, including two complete game shutouts isn't a bad month, no matter where you're pitching. Fortunately for the Montogomery Biscuits (Devil Rays) of the Southern League, Andy Sonnanstine pitches for them.
The 23-year-old righthander from Wadsworth, OH was named the TOPPS Southern League Player of the Month for July.
Minor League Baseball's press release gives more details about the outstanding month this young pitcher had:
I really need to drive over to Montgomery and watch this young man pitch one night.
