CY YOUNG

GOLD GLOVE
Sean Oglesby CHB
Oglesby came up with big play after big play in the field. His bat was not all it was hyped up to be this year but the captain made 4 diving catches, 2 to save games, and committed zero errors this tournament.
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR
Jake Wrigley PMK
Wrigley anchored the Playmaker leadoff spot and lead the team in extra base hits. His combination of speed and power helped lead the Playmakers to a 4th place finish.
MOST IMPROVED
Chris Helkowski MRV
After doing nothing in last years tournament Helkowski had great stuff on the hill and lead the Mars Rovers in homeruns while leading them to a 3rd place finish.
BREAKOUT PLAYER
Nick Foglio MRV
Both Foglio brothers enjoyed extreme power surges this year and is now in the classification of all star with his older brother Mike. Nick pounded 2 long balls and was clutch at the plate for the Rovers.
MOST CONSISTENT
Ricky Peluso UPS
Peluso was solid as the UPS leadoff man. He put the bat on the ball every game and did a tremendous job giving his team the opportunity to win. Peluso was consistent but very unlucky as he was robbed 3 times of a HR during the course of this years tournament.
MOST CLUTCH
Brandon Jackson CHB
Bebo was so so at the plate this year but every time he got a hit it was a huge hit for the 6 time champs. He drove in 4 runs in the title game hitting clean up, but had no bigger hit than the 3 run shot off of Zelik to give the Bombers the lead in the semi finals vs UPS.
GOLD SHOE
Sean Oglesby CHB
Oglesby was an extreme threat on the bases and lead the Bombers in runs scored. His veteran presence helped the champs battle adversity as he scored 4 go ahead runs.
BIGGEST SURPRISE
Mars Rovers
After entering the Series as the Dymeks and the Young Bucs last year Nick Foglio and Chris Helkowski combined their best from a year ago to create the Mars Rovers. Each player was winless until this year. The Rovers dropped their first game to Chapel Hill 14-6 and went on to win 5 straight before losing to UPS in the losers bracket championship to claim 3rd place.
ROLAIDS RELIEFBrandon Jackson CHB
Bebo had o runs allowed and 2 saves for the champs this year. He had quick innings and threw almost all strikes.
