2017 Year in Review
2017: Year in Review
Hitter of the Year
OF Phil Botfield: .341 batting average, .393 OBP, 37 doubles, 3 triples, 29 home runs, 94 RBI, and 91 runs scored. Believe it or not, it's his first Hitter of the Year Award.
Pitcher of the Year
John Cormack: 13-3 W-L, 2.23 ERA, 182 IP, 171 SO, 33 BB, 7 HRA. It is his second (consecutive) Pitcher of the Year Award.
Rookie of the Year
OF Dan Deschamps of the Glacier Pilots: .281 average, 22 doubles, 5 triples, 11 home runs, 65 RBI, 65 runs scored. Age 28. Traded to Kodiak for CF Mike Collette shortly before the award was announced after the end of the season.
Reliever of the Year
Donald Wilson: 3-2, 17 saves, 1.25 ERA, 36 innings pitched, 35 strikeouts, 15.8 VORP. Breaks Floyd Arrington's record-tying three consecutive awards.
Comeback Player of the Year
Chip Becker: Age 37, much improved with a new team after several injury-shortened and mediocre seasons. 3.19 ERA, 14 wins, 101 strikeouts, 195 innings pitched.
Manager of the Year
Bob Adamson of Fairbanks wins his second award, as the Goldpanners managed to improve slightly to their best record ever despite a more competitive division. His career won-lost record is now 485-571. He has by far the longest tenure with a single team of any manager in league history.
