			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	What can I say about Phil that has not already been said? Offensively, Phil led his team in batting average (.403), base hits (27), and total bases (31). He was also his team`s ace and pitched the most innings (45 2/3), had the most K`s (34), and led his team in wins (5). Defensively, Phil played every position and was also the captain, head coach, and heart and soul of BLACK SOX.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Matt had an exceptional year behind the plate, catching 21 of our 24 games. He handled the pitching staff well and threw out multiple base stealers. Also, Matt lead our team in total bases with 32 and finished in the league top ten. As well, he was tied for second in the league home run race with three.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	There’s a reason Brandon was nominated for batter of the year (and a lot of other hardware), but it’s the combination of his offence and his defence that makes him MVP-worthy. His bat was one of the only reasons we stayed alive in the playoff hunt late in the season, and his glove saved just as many runs as his bat created. He played in 20 of our games, and if he had missed even a few more it’s safe to say we wouldn’t have been in the position we were late in the season.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	The NCBL veteran, Dave "Doc" Rivers may have a sore back this off-season from carrying the Dukes team for much of the year. Dave was an 'everything man' for the Dukes in 2016. Whether it was pitching as a starter, coming into games as a reliever, playing solid defense at short stop or getting it done with the bat, Dave did it all and did it really well. Dave mastered it all in 2016, not unlike his mastery of google docs and reply all.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Joel put together arguably his best year as a Jack last year, as he took his game to another level offensively. You'll see his name in the top 3 of many offensive categories on the leaderboard, and if you look at our team stats, he was one of our top pitchers this year, notching 4 wins with an impressive WHIP of 1.56. What doesn't show up is his defensively ability that he showed numerous times throughout the year. Certainly the top defensive 3B in the Tier, Joel also played half the year at shortstop and did a fantastic job. Sure, Jay Murfitt put up some ridiculously good offensive numbers, but if you look at an all-around MVP performance, it's hard to argue against Big Joe.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	As the stats indicate, Pluym had a great season, both offensively and on the mound. No matter the situation he faced, Pluym was always prepared often came through in the clutch – a most valuable player to say the least!

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Not only was Jam our best hitter, hitting .456, he also was a great inspiration to some of our new players, taking them under his wing and making sure they were in proper defense positioning, Jam also solidified our outfield with only 1 error in 19 games

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Name please? Nick Lenardon. Can you spell it out for me? Certainly: N-I-C-K L-E-N-A-R-D-O-N. N as in “Nick Lenardon”. I as in “I can’t believe how big Nick Lenardon’s stick is?!” C as in “Can you believe how hard Nick Lenardon hits it?!” K as in “K stands for strikeouts and Nick Lenardon rarely does!” L as in “Look its Nick Lenardon!” E as in “Everybody Loves Nick Lenardon!” N as in “Nasty piece of bizness that Nick Lenardon!” A as in “Are you kidding me? It’s Nick Lenardon!” R as in “Robert Loggia isn’t even as cool as Nick Lenardon!” D as in “Doubles all over the place when Nick Lenardon strokes it!” O as in “Oh my god. It’s Nick Lenardon!” N as in “Now place your MVP vote for Nick Lenardon!”

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	A quick look at the leaderboards will show you that Jay dominated this year. Jay lead the league in runs scored, hits, rbi, doubles, triples, home runs, batting average, slugging, OPS, and total bases. That is to say that he lead the league in 10 out of 13 of the real offensive categories that the league tracks. He missed out on the BB (6) and SB (9) leaderboard, but was second in OBP. Pretty ridiculous really. He also plays dynamite defense in the outfield.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	`Mr. Ass`` as he is more affectionately known as for getting frequently getting beaned in the upper buttocks, Louis was one of the most feared hitters in all of the NCBL. Louis was in the top-10 in almost every major offensively category (home runs, doubles, rbi, slugging pct, on base pct, and OPS).

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Plain and simple, Brandon was our offensive catalyst all year, as his stats show. He was top two on our team in most offensive categories (runs, hits, walks, average, RBI, slugging, OPS, and even stolen bases) and league-wide finished with the third best average, second best OBP, and ninth best OPS. For what it’s worth, he was our most consistent hitter in a season in which our offence sputtered most of the time

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Stephane Leclair is the Dukes Best Batter nominee for the third year running. So if you don't know that number ten is the Dukes best hitter then you probably haven't seen the Dukes play in the last decade. Steph once again led the way offensively and the stats show it. The 2015 Tier 3 All Star is among the tier leaders in most offensive categories, including RBI (2nd in tier) which says a lot because Dukes players are fat, slow and admittedly lazy.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	The numbers don't lie, Joel was a steady hitter all year, bringing a high OBP and solid power to the top of our lineup each and every game. He lead the team in almost every offensive category, including both RBI and runs, which is an impressive feat to be both a producer of runs and to cash guys in. He also chipped in with 10 SBs to cap off a great season.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Tyler Dale didn't have a ton of at-bats but he had a fantastic year at the plate. Dale finished the year with a .488 AVG, and .600 SLG %. Well done!

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	When you think Big Stick, you gotta think Slick Nick! This guy has a hammer and when he’s not takin’ names and breakin’ hearts, he’s drilling his balls all over the field. His average is high and so is he as his rock solid stick continues to be a force in the middle of the lineup. Not only does he clean up in the 4 spot, he drives guys in a rapid pace and is a big key to us scoring … runs. Pickles’ is the Rockets nominee for Batter of the Year!

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Solid and consistent are two adjectives used to describe his pitching style. Phil pitched in 11 games, made 8 starts, and even recorded a save. Phil owned a respectable ERA (3.37), and picked up 5 wins. Phil was by far the most consistent pitcher on the BLACK SOX and also worked with his entire staff as their pitching coach.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Riley was a huge bright spot in what was a collective down year for our pitching staff. He was a utility man for us on the mound, starting most games, getting some long relief work, and mixing in a few short one-inning outings. Most importantly, he didn’t lose a game all year (not easy to do considering the way we played for most of the season) and finished tied for third in the tier in wins.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Rummer (Roo-mer) was the pitcher of record for half of the Dukes wins this season. He led the team in innings pitched, strikeouts as well as complaints about Dukes fielding. Without Rumleski the Dukes would've had trouble making the playoffs...in fall ball.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Seasons come and go, but one thing that remains fairly constant on the Lumberjacks is Scott Wood's leadership in our rotation. Year in and year out, he gets the job done on the mound. We had a deeper pitching staff this year, and Woody battled through some injuries, but he still lead the team in innings pitched. He's the type of pitcher every manager dreams of - pitches well in every situation and always wants the ball in the biggest games.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Jeremy Pluym was an integral part of the Mavericks success in 2016. Without recording a loss all season, he was able to put the Mavericks in a comfortable position to win every game he took the mound. Pluyms dominance on the hill helped the Mavs clinch their first tier pennant, as well as securing a spot in the finals. Congrats on a great year!

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	The hard throwing lefty Nickels Lenardon is the Rockets nominee for Pitcher of the Year. Why? Why not? And ‘cause he throws darts and usually hits his spots (that’s what she said)! Unlike his performance in the boudoir, he strikes guys out a ton. While he features his hard fastballs, he also can also drop his balls in the hot zones for strikes. His consistent performance on the bump was evident all season long! He sure knows how to satisfy … his team-mates.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Andy ``Cincinnati`` is the definition of a team player. After a 5-year hiatus from the NCBL to mend various injuries, Andy worked his butt off to get ready for the 2016 basball season. Andy had a respectable .294 batting average and played solid defensive at first. The ``Cincinnati Treat`` was also a leader of the hyjinx and currently drives a Lexus.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	One of the quietest, but also easily one of the most competitive players on our team, Brandon missed only four games this season (and played almost every inning of the 20 games he was at). Opposing players may not know his name, but they probably know him from patrolling centre field (even mixing in some time in the middle infield) and the work he did batting in the three and four spots. Even when the team was playing some of its worst baseball, Brandon never lost his positivity and desire to be at the field (he showed up almost an hour early to every game), despite playing injured for half of the season. To have a team full of players like Brandon would be a manager’s dream.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	The Mike Robillard Awd competitard will always hold significant meaning for Dukes players and so it is that we've nominated Trevor Williams. T-Bills plays baseball the way it's meant to be played, he competes hard every game on both sides of the ball. As hard as he plays the game anive as he is, Trevor’s always level-headed and positive with umpires, teammates and opponents alike.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	For the second year in a row, Ros is our nominee for the Sportsmanship and Ability Award. He would arguably be our 2nd MVP if Joel didn't run away with the nomination, as he gets the job done in every aspect of the game - hitting, pitching, and fielding. Not only that, he's always positive, always vocal in encouraging teammates, always respectful to both opponents and umpires, and he leaves everything he's got on the field. Great player, great teammate.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	For a third consecutive year, Dotzko has gone to great lengths to put together the annual Heritage Classic Baseball tournament. The ongoing success of this tournament is merely based on promoting sportsmanship both on and off the field, in addition to a competitive but entertaining weekend for all. Dotzko also takes the time and ability to try and secure a functioning scoreboard for the Mavs home games at Heritage. Thanks for all your hard work Jonathan.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	When you think sportsmanship and ability, you probably think to yourself, let’s give this award to the team-mate that demonstrates no ability to win another award. And that’s exactly what the Rockets thought when we nominated Michael K. Bayley. The K stands for strike-outs and Michael K.only struck out 11 batters in his 52+ IP. He strikes out more often when he’s cougar hunting in Stittsvegas! Despite his lacklustre stats and somewhat average looks, our Mikey has been in the NCBL for 20 years. If he plays another year, they might name Tier 5 after him! Soon to be taking his talents to co-ed softball, The Bay is beloved by his team-mates, his opponents and even the umpires while he’s flirting with them to gain that extra edge and/or make dinner plans. All joking aside, if anyone deserves this award, it’s our leader Michael K. Bayley.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Chris is a mild mannered, soft spoken gentleman who can play baseball with the best of them. He shows up to almost every game, plays hard and gets along with everyone. He plays all over the diamond, wherever we need him without a complaint. His name is also all over the leaderboard (PA, AB, R, H, 2B, SB, TB). Great player and easy to manage.
