    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG We believe Jonny is our MVP this year, supplying power at the plate, and a sub 4 ERA, he was the complete player when on the field, he also helped in the IF when needed. Jonny's numbers MVP type numbers, both pitching and hitting, and for those reasons we think he is the Tier 4 MVP

Of his three homeruns two were off the two best lefties in the league (Kusiewicz and Krauthaker). Played some great defence at first and second and was a solid citizen on the field.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Dan aka Moose, aka D-Lax factored in nearly all of our team's win. A steady hand at the dish with a very patient approach. From the bump he really makes his presence felt. If we're able to hand a lead over to him in the 4th or 5th inning Dan provides the security only a mid-80s fastball can, closing out games with very little turbulence.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Quotes taken from our team's year-end party and season awards as we have our guys submit write-ups: "Darren is my vote for MVP, he muscled up on the rubber and managed to fend off Logan's queer gaze many a time to stay in the game and throw 100+ pitches. Hitting .500 ain't bad either." "We will need a bigger helmet for his head next year.... I guess he is pretty good though, Well Earned!” "This player once again proved he could do it all. Playing the field, pitching, catching, being a whiny b*tch .... it all came together for him"

Best Batter
Team Player
    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG When you had a situation where you needed a run or a big at bat Matt Healy was the guy we turned too. Matts stats speak for themselves, he hit for the cycle for the season. Every team wanted a batter like Matt, he made it difficult to pitch to him if you didn’t want for him to hurt you.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG As usual, Jonny supplied a lot of power at the plate, and with a near .400 BA, he was always making great contact. Jonny also had the lone HR for us this year, but with some more AB's I'm sure that would have changed. With the great AVG and power, we nominate Jonny for Batter of Year

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Quotes taken from our team's year-end party and season awards as we have our guys submit write-ups: “Always has the rake out and is ready to mash.“ “Guy hit 3 jacks this year, enough said. The big dog continues to eat, which may be the result of his linear weight gain, but luckily for him, the two seem to correlate. Nothing like watching this player take a huge cut and miss, knowing that he really wanted it." "Big Fat Ron swung a big fat bat this year.”

Best Pitcher
Team Player
    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP Every pitching rotation need a big man and our big man is Brett Harrigan. Brett pitched well this year in his first year in the NCBL, unfortunately the defence behind him struggled at times. With the struggles Brett still had a lot of successes this year stats speak for themselves, with Brett on many on the pitching leader boards. When we wanted a win Brett was the Man we turned too.

    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP Our most consistently good pitcher who led team with 3 wins, a 4.67 ERA, and was fourth in the tier with 42 innings, and seventh in the tier with 31 strikeouts.

    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP With a 6-3 record this year, Jonny was the ace of our pitching staff. Always giving us a chance to win any game he started. With a bit more offence, he would have had a couple more wins. Jonny was always good for 7 innings when he took to the mound, throwing a mix of off speed and a hard fast ball. With Jonny's experience he was able to mix his pitches and put up some greast numbers. For those reasons, we believe he is the Tier 4 Pitcher of the Year.

    IP SO W-L-S ERA WHIP Quotes taken from our team's year-end party and season awards as we have our guys submit write-ups: "Darren has proven himself to be the workhorse for TRV again this year. He shows up to play and can throw one hell of a game from atop of the mound. The best we have seen him to date" "“Normally I have nothing good to say about this person, but 236 batters faced this year! That's a huge feat, and the guy deserves this one. If only he'd finally realize that a deep ball to the gap is a hit, and if this results in a run, then yes, it is an earned run, he'd be a lot easier to tolerate." "Darren throws the ball, and if you take Darrens ball away he is sad.” "“Give the greasy pig his pitching award" "“pitched a sh*tload of innings only because Logan was too afraid to pull him earlier in games.. It must suck having to work with this guy.”

Sportsmanship and Ability **NEW**
Team Player
    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Adam made the jump back to his love of baseball after years of softball. Adam instantly took a leadership role and made friends with everyone on the team, most guys he was meeting for the first time. On the field Adam did a lot this year, played 13 of 20 games, he caught 71.1 of 117 innings pitched. The games missed 2 games was from having the joy of a new baby which was at several games. Adam also had dental surgery in the afternoon of a game and was at the game 3 hours later. This guy several teams said wanted a player like him; always positive, hard working, dedicated to his team and the game.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG For his workmanlike approach to pitching for a weak defensive team, with some success. Never got frustrated or angry at events, and always was ready to contribute in any way (pinch-hitting, playing infield/outfield when not pitching).

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Lorne was a very solid player for us this year, both on and off the field. Lorne was dependable and a real team player. He is a very supportive teammate and always ready to play. A solid catcher and utility infielder, and great lead off batter. Any team would be happy to have him on their team for all those reasons.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Dan and his future wife Val was at almost all the games. Dan was always willing to help with team duties when the manager was away and Val gladly filled out our boxscores when we only had 8-9 players at our games which was the quite common. Dan also played well, pitched great for us when needed.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Don was a teammate of PapaJo for more than 20 years. He is a very proud member of the NCBL and promotes it in his columns for time to time. Although Don doesn't play as often as before he still likes to be involved in the League. He is one of the most well known players in our tier. It is his unselfishness that allows younger plays to get more playing time for the continuous of the Knights team.  ‎We feel that Don will be a very worthy recipient of this award.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG Auggie jumped over a hundred points this year in his batting average from last year, hitting 319. He had 12 steals this year and tied for the team lead in runs with 17. Auggie is a great person and a gentleman on and off the field. He cares for his team and his teammates and is always striving to make himself better by putting extra work.

    PA RBI AVG ONB SLUG A steady hand in the lead off spot for the Strykers in 2016 as well as a solid defensive centre fielder with above average range and a good strong left-handed throwing arm in addition to spinning a few solid innings relief work from the mound Bini is a player with a lot of tools. His name appears on the leaderboard for virtually every hitting category but his positive attitude and sportsmanship are what truly set him apart. Bini is always smiling and always encouraging his teammates. Known for apologizing profusely for throwing inside on a batter as much as he is for his exclamations of "fudge" when he makes weak contact ( not censored by the way he actually says fudge), Bini is at the heart of what made this strykers team great.
