Rookie Roy Hobbs Wins RU Batting Title
You might say the 20-year-old Waleska rookie center fielder is a natural. In his first IPA season Hobbs went to the plate 567 times, collected 202 hits and came away with the 2013 Ruthlandian Union batting title. His .356 average placed him at the top of the list. Hobbs played in 142 games and had 22 home runs, 104 RBIs and 105 runs scored.

Hobbs beat out Lloyd Voss, the veteran Elnora left fielder, for the batting crown. Voss batted .348 with 19 roundtrippers, 105 RBIs and scored 93 times. Third in the race was Belle Plaine fine freshman shortstop Scott Hammill, who hit an impressive .346 with 19 home runs, 105 RBIs and tallied 93 runs.

Fairfax's Wesner Is TU Swing King
Dane Wesner gave Frogs fans plenty to cheer about this past year. His latest achievement, the 2013 Tycobbian Union batting crown, gives them one more good reason to celebrate. In 132 games, the Fairfax right fielder hit .368 with 180 hits, 34 home runs, 106 RBIs and 91 runs scored. It was Wesner's second batting title in his 6-year career. He is a .342 lifetime hitter in the IPA.

Wesner got the best of High Mesa's sensational rookie Jack Elliott in the batting competition. Elliott won just about every other offensive category in the IPA, including a record number of homers, but finished second in hitting. The 20-year-old first sacker pounded 61 out of the park to top East Point's Karol Zodoka's 2002 mark of 54 roundtrippers. Elliott posted a .355 batting average and also led the IPA with 144 runs batted in and 134 runs scored. He was almost a Triple Crown winner in his freshman year in the league.

Zeppy Deshotel, La Claire's brilliant center fielder, was third with a .350 BA. Deshotel slugged 44 home runs, drove in 125 and scored 114 times. He also stole 44 bases in a very productive season.
