The offensive player of the month for September was an easy choice. Christian Yelich led the majors with a .500 OBP and a .807 slugging percentage. He tied Tevor Story and Luke Voit with 10 home runs in the month. Christian Yelich is the Baseball Musings Offesive Player of the Month for September 2018.
On the pitching side, three pitchers allowed four earned runs in 33 innings, Luis Castillo, Justin Verlander, and Reynaldo Lopez. Verlander, however, accomplished it with outstanding three-true outcomes. He struck out 13.6 batters per 9 IP, walked 1.4 per nine, and allowed 0.27 HR per 9 IP. Blake Snell and Carlos Carrasco tied for the league lead in strikeouts with 53. Snell went 5-0 with a 1.26 ERA, allowing just 21 hits in 35 2/3 innings.
An honorable mention should go to Kyle Freeland of the Rockies, who allowed 2.61 ERA as he went 5-0 in the month. He allowed just two home runs in 38 innings.
Verlander’s excellent combination of ERA and three-true outcomes carry the day. Justin Verlander is the Baseball Musings pitcher of the month for September 2018.
