			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Pat was our most consistent and dominant player on both sides of the ball this season. His work schedule limited him to 11 games, but he still finished top-10 in the tier in AVG, slugging percentage and RBI, and just shy of the top-10 in hits. One of his most impressive feats is he struck out just once in 39 ABs. On the mound he was just as dominant: he had the lowest ERA in the tier and pitched two CGs in three starts (and six of seven innings in the other start). Our pitching depth limited his IP numbers to 20, but he still finished one win behind the tier leader, was second in WHIP, and top-10 in Ks. He was also sure-handed in the field, making just one error in his time at SS and 3B.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	In Matty's first year with the Coyotes, he posted some great numbers at the plate and on the mound. When he wasn't pitching or getting a hit, he was behind the plate catching a great game. Not only does Matty play the game with great passion, he's a true team player, hussle is his middle name and we're glad to have him as Coyote!

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Brett was our top pitcher this year and also had an awesome bat. He had a low era of 3.85, going 3 - 2 with 1 save. He also batted .353, with an on base of .511 and slugging of .529 and an ops of 1.041.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Nick is our MVP because he does so much very well; whether he's pitching, 3-0 with one save and an ERA of 3.61; hitting, he was in the middle of the order and hit .349 with 5 doubles and 8 RBI. Defensively he was not only our catcher but played a very good outfield and infield. He only made 1 error in his 20 appearances for us.
	Lynx	Nick Bernier	47	8	0.349	0.404	0.465

			21.33	17	3-0-1	3.61	1.31
			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Jordan stepped up big in his return to the Los V's after two years down under training and taking steroids. He returned with a vengeance and was our best player leading the team in a myriad of categories, both hitting and pitching. Posted a miniscule ERA despite shotty D behind him...our D was so damn bad at times but I digress.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Batted over .300, and led the team in RBIs (10), doubles (4), and OPS (.762).

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Matt was a great all-around hitter this season, leading the way offensively for us. He hit for power, finishing first in doubles and RBI (by a wide margin), second in slugging percentage, and third in triples. He also hit for average (finishing first in hits and second in average), and was on base frequently (picking up 11 walks to finish third in OBP and OPS). Matt could also be counted on to put the ball in play every time he was at the plate, striking out just five times in 59 at-bats. While most other players moved around the batting order on a game-to-game basis, Matt batted cleanup for us in all but one game.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	This was Eric's year at the dish. The gentle giant swung a mean bat. He easily claimed the clean up spot this year by posting some amazing numbers, top 5 in 11 offensive categories. No matter the pitcher Eric was going to hit the ball and hit it hard. Always a gamer, he put in 150% effort in each AB. With Eric's numbers and determination we think he deserves Tier 4 Batter of the Year.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Olivier had a great year at the plate. He lead the league in homeruns with 3, slugging with .782, doubles with 7. He was second in a few other major categories such as ops 1.282, and RBIs with 23. Olivier was our clean up hitter for most of the year, but that didn't stop him from also stealing 14 bases and scoring 21 runs.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Clean up hitter and excellent defence at shortstop. on the leaderboard in most offensive categories.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Chris was tied for the lead in hits (21), triples (3) and of his 66 plate appearances only had 2 strikeouts. He was a great number 2 hitter in that he protected the runners and even his outs were hard hit. He never gets cheated in at bat and gives pitchers fits with his bulldog mentality.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	I don't usually remember my dreams, but when I do they are of Jordan's sweet swing, lining ball after ball up the middle and driving in runs. The guy can hit all over the lineup and was clutch throughout the entire year. Contributed to all of our wins with his solid bat.

	Best Pitcher

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	The workhorse of the pitching staff, he led the team in innings (44) and strikeouts (40), both good for second among pitchers in our tier.

			BB	Hits
			22	70
			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	He pitched only 25 innings (mainly because he shared the mound with nine teammates), but in that time he stifled opponents and showed how dominant he can be. He was great at keeping batters off base (finishing first in WHIP) and preventing opponents from scoring (finishing second in ERA). Despite his limited innings he was still second in wins and strikeouts. In his four starts this year he had two five-inning CGs (both mercy wins), a six-inning game, and an injury-shortened four-inning game. He also had two starts in which he finished with double-digit strikeouts (including a five-inning, 12 strikeout performance).

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Jonny had a great year on the mound, top 10 in nearly all the pitching categories, he had 3 CG's and a tiny ERA. If it wasn't for an injury late in the year, his numbers would have even that more impressive. When on the mound, Jonny's stuff was dazzling, we sometimes don't know what pitch he's throwing. With Jonny's numbers and determination, we believe him to the Tier 4 Pitcher of the year.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Austin was a workhorse for us, pitching over 37 innings. His era isn't a true reflection of the way he pitched for us. He faced 214 batters, and ended up going 2-3.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Best pickoff move in League, another solid year for the veteran.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	This 40+ year old pitcher keeps turning out innings for us. He had a 3-1 record with one save and a very good 2.37 ERA giving up only 8 earned runs. He was second in innings pitched and averaged a strikeout per inning while his Hits/BB ratio was 1.35.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Known affectionately as Troutface, Darren was sharp yet again for Los V's leading the team in innings eclipsing the 40 IP mark yet again. Darren is a gamer, takes the ball for us every second game and without him, we would be lost. I don't think any team relies on an arm as much as the Los V's relied on Darren's right arm.
