IPA Picks Golden Bats

Allan Stewart Chosen RU's #1 Batter
Middlefield's great first sacker Allan Stewart has been honored with the 2024 Golden Bat Award in the Ruthlandian Union. What a fine year he had with a .302 batting average, 165 hits, 28 doubles, 2 triples, 53 home runs, 113 RBIs and 108 runs. The 24-year-old slugger and 4-time All-Star captured the best batter award for the first time and led the Roosters to their second consecutive RU West title. Stewart paced the Ruthlandian league in homers with 53.

Waleska's super center fielder Roy Hobbs, a 4-time Golden Bat recipient, came in second this season. The 31-year-old Hobbs had another sterling year with a .325 BA, 32 roundtrippers, 106 runs batted in and 112 runs scored. Valmara's young and talented center fielder Teddy Szymanski was in the third spot in The Islandian Times poll. Only playing in his second season in the IPA, Szymanski sizzled at the plate with .333 mark, 27 home runs, 110 RBIs and 104 run. He sparked the Vipers to a second successive RU North championship.

TU Awards Best Batter Award To Vizcarra
It's been a year of triumph for veteran Rusty Vizcarra of the Arroyo Grande Suns as he hit his way to the 2024 Tycobbian Union Golden Bat Award. The 25-year-old first baseman compiled a .341 average and .417 on-base percentage by putting together 200 hits, 45 doubles, 4 triples, 54 home runs and 78 walks. He also scored 129 times and drove in 161 runs. Vizcarra topped the entire IPA in homers, RBIs and runs and came close to winning the Triple Crown, winding up 10 points behind the batting average leader. His Suns pulled in their fourth TU South pennant in the past five years.

Legendary Jack Elliott wound up second this season. High Mesa's splendid first baseman has claimed the Golden Bat a remarkable 11 times, a feat that may never be matched, much less broken. Elliott didn't win this year, but he still delivered 49 homers and 110 RBIs, while scoring 122 times and batting .343. Oxford's outstanding outfielder Denny Hartwig came in number three in the balloting. The 22-year-old Hartwig put up a .337 BA with 27 home runs, 115 runs batted in and 118 runs, while helping his Red Caps to a lofty second-place finish in the TU North, just barely missing the division crown by one scant game.
