Rick Porcello may or may not win AL Rookie of the Year (If I had a vote, it would be for Oakland's Andrew Bailey.), but he may just be the most impressive rookie.
What did the 20 year old kid do in the biggest game of his career? 6.1 Innings, 1 Run, 7 Hits, 1 Walk.
He will not win the game, leaving the game with the scored tied at 1, but asking a 20 year old to pitch in a game like this, when most 20 year olds are only worried about what party they are going to on Friday Night, is alot. Porcello kept the Tigers in the game, and in a position to win the game.
Porcello might be 20, but he pitched like a veteran today.
I am confident that there will be a lot more of this to come with the youngster.
