| Best FA Rookie Named, Nod to Rowe Friday, September 1st , 1961 Fred Rowe might not have fully digested the impact of winning August's Federal Association Rookie of the Month award when he got the news earlier today, but the 22-year-old quickly learned that he was no longer your typical rookie.
Posting a mark of 4-1 won-lost record will do that. In 0 starts he tossed 19 innings with 19 strikeouts and a 1.89 ERA. Opposing teams hit .203 against him during the month.
Not bad for a first-year man.
Rowe has 38 relief appearances this year with 3 saves. Rowe has also compiled a 7-2 won-lost mark with a 5.12 ERA. In 58 innings he has fanned 50. | | |
