The young pitching staff is coming of age, led by Charlie Pastore, 24, and Judge Thomas, 26. Pastore was the number 1 pick in the 1952 Amateur draft and finished the season 13-11 with a 3.83 ERA. Thomas, drafted in 1950, had his first winning season at 13-6 with a 3.16 ERA. Pittsburgh feels Judge Thomas has the potential to be a 20 game winner with some more offensive support.
There are still some rough spots in the rotation, with youngster Kim Darcy losing 20 games, following a 19 loss season in '53. But the coaching staff is still positive on the number 1 draft pick from 1951.
According to the manager, it was the bullpen that really "saved" Pittsburgh's season. Led by a career high 46 saves by Brook "The Kid" Underwood, and middle men Len Robitaille and Chris Coleman, the bullpen combined for a 24-12 record.
The Iron Horses are looking forward to the 1955 season and the continued improvement of the pitching staff.
Good luck to all in '55.
