    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG For a guy in his mid 40's, who still acts like he's 20, the youthful Keating was on display this season. He led the team in most offensive categories, and led the league in on base percentage and walks, and was 4th in SB's and 7th in OPS. He also hit .396. As for pitching, he continued to be an innings eater, and logged 2 big wins and a tie down the stretch to push us into the playoffs.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Jérémie has been our most valuable player this season. He catched more than half of the games and did a really good job behind the plate. He batted really well also and we believe he deserves the title for this season. He was also more than good off the field with the team.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Ryan was a monster all year in the lead off position. You will see his name on almost all of the Tier 2 leaderboards. Ryan got on base and scored a ton of runs. Not to mention, hes a stud out in the field, our best overall defender and player.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Last year, when the SweatSox finished last place in Tier 2 and then lost Trepanier to free agency, we seriously considered a drop to Tier 3. The only reason we hung around was because we still had Eric White, who’s arm, bat, and legs can keep us in just about every game; and they did. Representing the SweatSox as our top pitcher and top hitter (see write-ups below), Eric led the tier in multiple batting and pitching categories, and was single handedly responsible for the SweatSox worst-to-first turnaround.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Clarke lead Winchester by example during his first year with the club. Coming from Nova Scotia he quickly went from an unknown to our team's biggest all around contributor. Ryan pitched, played shortstop and batted cleanup - we missed this guy when he went back home for two weeks. He had 23 hits.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Coming off a mediocre 2014 season (by his standards) where he hit just .292, Eric White improved that average by more than some of us hit this season, finishing .455 and in the top 4 of the league. Eric led the tier in hits, stolen bases, and runs, which makes sense since as our leadoff hitter he’d usually get on base, always steal second, sometimes steal third, and then wait for one of us to knock him in; but if we took too long he wasn’t afraid to steal home too (ask Wade Wilson). Counting just his runs and RBI’s, Eric was directly responsible for 25% of the total SweatSox runs this year. Don’t hold it against him that he didn’t have any HR’s, he could’ve if he wanted, but that just would’ve taken away from his SB opportunities!

    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP He was certainly our best pitcher this season. He won 7 of his 8 starts this season, but pitched in more than 10 games. He controlled all his pitches and if he would not have been there for us this season, we would not have win a lot of games.

    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP Willing and able to pitch in any situation at any time, Eric White pitched in 16 of 22 (regular season) and 8 of 10 (playoff) games he attended this year. Eric finished with the Tier lead (by a good margin) in innings pitched, wins, strikeouts, and saves; and near the top of the leaderboards in the other categories. Eric was the unquestioned SweatSox ace, pitching 50 more innings than the next most, while leading the SweatSox in every single pitching stat.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Ross Hughes has always been more of a grow’er than a show’er, but this year was different. In the two seasons prior to this one, Ross batted just over .100. This year though, he was 3rd on the team in average (.303) and was a big part of our middle infield defense. Ross has always been the ultimate team player, constantly leading the team in words of encouragement, and sacrifice bunts. Not that we needed any more evidence of his character, but when Ross broke his arm in two places during Round 1 of the playoffs, not only did he finish the game in excruciating pain, he still showed up to our games to cheer the team on and coach first base. In fact, Ross took full responsibility for our championship series loss, blaming himself for leaving us shorthanded. We agree.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG If you've ever had the luxury of playing with Waresy, you'll know that he's probably the best teammate that you could ever ask for. The genuine enthusiasm and effort level that he exerts when he steps on the ball field is second to none. He is always willing to do whatever the team needs.

Top Rookie
Team Player
    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG This Cornwall native fit right in with the Braves this year. The "Silent Assasin" or "Sweet Pea" passed all of the team's rookie inittiations with flying colours, and may be in the market for a new liver in the off season. Although he hit only .204, he contibuted with some timely hits and consistent fielding to help get the Braves back into the playoffs.
