    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Geoff was the Brewers MVP in 2015 for a variety of reasons. He was our most consistent hitter, always in the 3 or 4 spot in the lineup. When not pitching, he played a flawless shortstop. Pitching wise he was our go-to arm when in need of a save or a quality start!

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG When he isnt rallying the troops for Gan casino trips, hes rallying the boys on the field with his all out efforts behind the dish and in the outfield. "The guy who played with Brett Lawrie" (as he is better known as) always gave 110 percent and his success was consistent all year long. The gawdy statistics speak for themselves and the Ponies wouldnt have been where they were without him.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Proulx is the most complete player in this league. Behind the plate his arm is feared by all the baserunner and at the plate he combine power and average. He is the best catcher in the NCBL and without him we would never have such a good season.

Best Pitcher
Team Player
    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP Kevin was a gamer this year. Pounding the strike zone and holding teams to 2 or less runs, Kevin gave us a chance to win every time he took the mound.

    BB Hits      
    15 38

    BB Hits      
    5 19      
    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP Nick had a dominate 2nd half of the season, leading the team in ERA, WHIP, and Wins. Nick was the victim of little run-support throughout the season which would have helped his win total.
Brewers Nick Gazo 37.33 30 3-2-0 2.06 1.34
    BB Hits      
    18 32      
    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP True Ace of any team, Bobby carried the Cubs into the playoffs. Almost taking to the mound every second game, he proved to be the Ace that many teams covet and has the numbers to back it up.
Cubs Bobby Brooks 65.00 73 7-3-0 1.83 1.49

    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP Derek would be the Ace of this impressive nominees staff, most of whom are playing a tier down from where they probably should be. The few runs and losses he incurred were a direct result of timely poor defense and untimely hitting against other teams big guns. He says he cares little about about these sort of awards, and would rather win 10-9 than lose 1-0, but I think this award would reflect the excellence and dedication he showed throughout the season. 
Ponies Derek Howe 50.66 48 7-0-0 1.24 0.95

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG While being our top pitcher, Nick also chipped in with 8 hits at the plate despite being limited by a hurt hand. Nick never has a bad thing to say about anyone and is the team's Mr. Nice Guy!
Brewers Nick Gazo 35 6 0.250 0.314 0.281
    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP
    37.33 30.00 3-2-0 2.06 1.34
    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Despite dealing with Atrial Fibrillation most of the last 2 seasons. Bobby came out on a mission this year, proving that despite his current condition he remains a fierce competitor on the mound yet humble for every minute he's on the ball field.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Ross put together another fine statistical season with the Ponies. The transition to 1st base for Ross seemed flawless and he has gone about his game play like every other year; in a respectful but competitive fashion. He was also the main cog in difusing the Batallion vs Ponies brawl. If that doesnt scream sportsmanship...i dont know what does.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG New to Ottawa after arriving from Niagara Falls in the winter, Tim filled in a huge hole the team had in the outfield and quickly became the team's starting right fielder with his gun for an arm being a long missing threat for the Brewers outfield. At the plate, it took Tim a bit to get used to NCBL pitching, but still put together solid numbers.
Brewers Tim Feren 62 6 0.235 0.371 0.314

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Making the transition from tier 2 to tier 1 would often be a difficult one, but Tyler made the transition seamlessly. Very reliable, Tyler was the only Cub to play all 24 games this season. He provided above average defense and has proven to be a threat on the bases, something the Cubs have lacked since the team split in 2014.
Cubs Ty Bampton 71 5 0.262 0.352 0.279

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG This Billy Zane look a like gave the Ponies a titanic statistical season and was at the top of the league with both ERA and WHIP. Noone knew what to expect with Agnew making the jump to the bigs from the kingston city mens league. Agnew silenced the nay sayers, and if it werent for lack of available innings, he surely could have been pitcher of the year
