    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG While Cory Bond is usually a one trick pony (pitching) in the NCBL, this year it was being a quadruple threat that carried him to an MVP nomination.  Bond finished with the SweatSox batting title (.300), an NCBL leading 0.00ERA, a near-perfect fielding percentage, all while playing with a broken back, chipped tooth, and constant headaches from managing this merry band of misfits.  Our great lefty played every position but catcher, batted everywhere but leadoff, pitched when we needed to break a 14 game losing streak (vs Cornwall), and of course played in all 29 SweatSox games this year.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Rudy was fantastic for the Mudd this year. Numerous clutch hits and key defensive plays were Rudy's mantra throughout the entire season.  In fact, he was in such a zone at the plate that you could see opposing pitchers sweat when he stepped into the batters box. His offensive outputs carried the Mudd to the victories that we did have in the regular season that allowed us to even get into the playoffs. Rudy is the MVP of our team, and should be the MVP of the league. His numbers speak for themselves: # 1 in batting average, # 1 in hits, # 1 in Slugging percentage, # 2 in OPS, # 2 in Home runs, and # 2 in RBI's. Anyone, would have a hard time arguing against those types of numbers.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG ‘’King’’ Beauchamp is like Casper, you see him but you can touch is pitch!  Plus, he can hit, so Beauchamp is like amix of Clayton Kershaw and David Ortiz. Just look is stats and you will understand why this guy is the MVP and Best pitcher in the tier 2 this year.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG The Braves went out and got younger...no really...by adding a guy in his 20's we may have brought our average age below 40!! Hands down our MVP, from the lead off spot all year, as he led the team in plate appearances 87, runs19, hits 21, walks 17 and stolen bases 17..and not to mention, stellar defensively!!

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG He showed consistency all year long and really enjoyed playing baseball. He pitched well, batted well and was really nice with our guys. His attitude was perfect all year long, so he has been good on every part of his game for the summer.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG There weren’t many bright spots on the worst offense in the history of baseball, but Martin Trepanier was an exception.  Trep finished with an impressive .348 average, a .444 on base, and a .478 slugging, even leading the team in extra base hits despite a leg injury that kept him off the field for a part of the season.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Rudy destroyed opponent pitching this year. You could almost say he had the "eye of the tiger". When he walked up to the plate, he knew he was going to get a hit. He had the most consistent year I have ever seen, he played in 19 games and had multiple hits in 11 of them. Rudy tops the leader board in most of the offensive categories and should be considered as the best hitter in this league this year.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG this crafty Mexican, who still plays under the Cuban flag, had one of his best NCBL seasons ever, as he led the team in RBI's 19, tied for most runs 19, and was second in hits 19, and stolen bases 11.

    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP The SweatSox missed the playoffs by just 2 points, but it could’ve been so much worse had it not been for the left arm of Martin Trepanier.  Trep led the SweatSox in all major pitching categories: IP (40), K (53), W (3), ERA (1.23), and WHIP (1.20).  It’s worth noting in Trep’s 3 losses, the SweatSox scored a TOTAL of 4 runs against some of the league’s best: Amelotte, Barnes, and Beauchamp.

    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP Greg had another great year for the Mudd. We knew, every time Greg towed the rubber that we were going to get a great pitching performance and that we were going to have a chance to win. Greg was at his best when the game was on the line. At his best in the big games and big moments, Greg is our undisputed number 1 pitcher and was a instrumental part in getting the Mudd to where we got this season.

    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP the 32 year old in a 50 year old body, that's why he fits in well with the Braves...he too contributed with arguably his best season as a Brave...posted a 1.62 ERA while going 5-2...only gave up 11 earned runs all year while striking out 48 batters in 48 innings.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Nobody truly knows how long John Groves has been playing baseball for, but our best guess is somewhere between 70-80 years.  John was an integral part of our ’13 dream season run, and while most suffered from a championship hangover, Old Man Groves was swinging like he was in his prime.  OMG hit .241, nearly .100 points higher than his career average, and continued to have one of the quickest (and biggest) gloves on the hot corner.  It wasn’t his most stellar year on the mound, but we can attribute that to pitching in Winchester, vs Cornwall, and against the Braves (when they were really good).  Groves shows up every game with a smile on his face, a positive attitude, and is always willing to take on whatever role is best for the team.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Ricky is the embodiment of this award. His kind heart, undeniable talent (Look at his numbers this season) and relentlessly positive attitude were an integral part in our teams success this season. Anyone who played with Ricky, or against Ricky this year will agree that he is the most deserving individual for this award and I will be happy to see him receive it.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Ricky came out and lit the NCBL on fire this year. His .324 batting average, along with his stellar pitching turned heads around the league. He pitched 7 innings of 2 hit and 3 hit ball against the best team in the league during the regular season. I do not think any other pitcher can claim that this year. We were very lucky to be able to bring in such a talented player to the Mudd and we look forward to having him around for many more years.
