I have to just take a moment to plug my guys for awards.
Note- numbers in parentheses are the place someone came in that stat in the league (among qualified players, 3.1 PA/ 1 IP per game). For example, 112 RBIs (3) means that player came third in RBIs. Only top ten finishes are shown.
I'm actually going to be a bit unbiased here and only write the blurbs of players who I actually think deserve the award. So I will be leaving out guys like Kitur for Reliever of the Year, who had a good season but certainly not worthy of an award. (He is included under Rookie of the Year though!)
Position Player of the Year:
RF Stéphane Salomon: Hit .271, .389 OBP (7), 529 SLG (4) with 35 HRs (5) and 112 RBIs (2). WAR of 6.4 (4). Also stole 20 bases and scored 107 runs (4).
LF Gong Jiang: Hit .319 (3) with a .428 OBP (1). Got 180 hits (10). Scored 102 runs (6)and stole 36 bases. WAR of 6.9 (3).
SS Tamirat Sifiye: Hit .318 (4), with a .414 OBP (4). Had 192 hits (6). Had an incredible 63 SBs (1) to lead the league for his second straight year. Also scored 106 runs (4) and had a WAR of 7.3 (2).
Pitcher of the Year:
SP Nash bin Kamil: Went 15-12 (3 in wins) this year with an ERA of 4.31 and WHIP of 1.41. Only gave up 0.6 HR/9 (T3). Also had a 3.0 WAR and fanned 131 hitters.
SP Imre Maxa: Went 16-5 (2 in wins, 1 in losses), ERA of 3.34 (6) and WHIP of 1.43. Gave up 0.6 HR/9 (T3) and struck out 151.
Reliever of the Year:
CL Magtanggol Baladad: Won 7 games (T7) and saved 36 (5). Had 107 Ks (9). Had an ERA of 1.71 (4) and a WHIP of 0.96 (6). Had 13.1 Ks/9 (4) and 4.0 Ks/BB (8). WAR of 1.8 (8).
Rookie of the Year: Unfortunately, the OOTP stats can't show who the eligible rookies are, but I can tell you to vote for Kitur and Jela!
