 | Cedar Rapids Starter Selected Best Pitcher
Monday, October 1st , 1962
In September, when the name of Don Russell appeared on the Cedar Rapids lineup card it was a virtual lock on a victory. He started 5 times and chalked up 4 wins and no losses. With those stats it was also a virtual lock that he would be named the Heartland League Pitcher of the Month.
Russell shackled opposing batters on 20 base hits and a .187 batting average. He rang up 25 strikeouts in 30 innings of work, surrendered 10 walks and fashioned a sparkling 2.10 ERA.
Russell has a career won-loss record of 16 wins and 14 losses with 174 strikeouts in 242.1 innings and a 3.01 ERA. |  | HL Choice for Batter of the Month is Vitt
