			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Joe was voted as the MVP this year and the evidence is pretty clear why his teammates voted for him. Joe was very personable around the diamond, many teams know him from his years in the league. Joe did almost everything this year, he was a very strong while up to bat, pitched in several games, and played infield and outfield, only thing Joe didn’t do was catch this year. Joe is a great team player that many teams would love to have join their team.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Chris’ breakout year of being injury-free was a boon to the Braumeisters. His versatility and reliability playing short, second, third, outfield and catcher was sorely needed on the aging Brau squad. His offensive contributions were second only to our best better; Avg .394; .ONB% .623; OPS 1.017.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Our CF for years, catching anything sent out to CF, had another solid year in the OF, not only catching but gunning guys out at the plate. He's as quiet as they come, but he made a lot of noise with his bat to go with the defence skills. The offensive numbers were spread out across the board, with RBI's, runs scored, walks, SB's, and AVG. This year we nominate Stef L. as our MVP.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	League’s top hitter and RBI producer could also be considered as Comeback player of the year as he came back strong after missing most of last season with an ankle injury suffered on the worst slide you have ever seen while attempting to steal second base.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Cory was the iron man of the league having played in all 20 games and leading the league in plate appearances (78); what makes this impressive is the fact that Cory was our number 1 catcher. Furthermore, of those 78 plate appearances he only struck out once all year. You will find his name all over the offensive leader board, second in hits (28); tied for second in home runs (1) and at bats (58). he was fourth in batting average (.483); runs (21) and walks (13). He was also top ten in slugging (.586). Not only were his offensive stats impressive but his ability to catch our pitchers and throw out runners was instrumental in us having a successful season.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Joe was the batter you wanted up with the game on the line. Joe had a strong bat all year long; great average, strong on base percentage and scored runners ahead of him if they were in scoring position. The stats speak for themselves, and any team would be lucky to have a player like Joe on their team.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Ron has won this award in the past. 2017 proved to be another dominant year for him at the plate. His total numbers are excellent, but where he really stands out, is in the SLG. department. He was also intentionally walked multiple times this year, once again showing his pedigree as a hitter.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Brett stats don’t speak justice on how good of a pitcher he is, many teams did not like to see him take the mound. He throws hard and have a great curve ball that many batters struggled with. Brett is a force on the mound and I am very glad he is playing on our team and not against him. Any team would love to have Brett in their starting rotation.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	A repeat as the Brau’s ace, Bob was the workhorse who led the team in innings pitched (43). And despite all the extra pitches thrown because of some shoddy defense behind him, Bob kept is ERA to 3.58 with a WHIP of 1.93 to give the team hope.

			IP	SO	W-L-S	ERA	WHIP	Mike returned to the Los V's full-time in 2017 and he was again the best arm for us.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Shanon is dependable and a real team player. He is very supportive of his teammates and always ready to help out in any capacity. Although Shanon doesn't play as often as he did as a young man, at 45 years old he still likes to be involved with the team, and the sport he loves. Several teams said wanted a player like him; always positive, hard-working, dedicated to his team and the game. We feel that Shanon would be a very worthy recipient of this award.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Capably managing the team on the field when Gary was not there caused Mike to endure many pains beyond his knees. He pitched 31+ innings, batted over .300, led the team in RBIs and hits and played solid infield. Never a complaint (at least heard out loud).

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Jack was a rookie to the NCBL this year, but you'd never know it the way he played. He got his first NCBL win on the mound, and was always at the top of the order when hitting, leading the team in runs. Jack always showed up ready to play, and play wherever needed, always putting the team first. With his positive attitude and baseball skills, we nominate Jack for Sportsmanship and Ability

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Longtime manager of the Knights is a respected senior player in the league, having played in it for almost 30 years. Doesn't catch as much as he used to but he can still make contact against any young gun, as evidenced by his ,333 average this season Would be a deserved recipient of the award named after his former teammate Peter Johns.

			PA	RBI	AVG	ONB	SLUG	Nahum is the most positive person on our team, supportive of his teammates and opponents and willing to help out in any way possible. He is best known for his sense of humour and his attitude if infectious on all who meet him. This was his first year as a regular on the team and he hit a respectable 273 with 11 walks and his defense at 3B as superb.
