IPA Golden Bats Go To Dillinger And Cornwall
The premier batters in the Islandian Pro Alliance this year were Loco Dillinger of the Waleska Westerners and Cotton Cornwall of the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers. Dillinger claimed the Ruthlandian Golden Bat for the fourth time in his career, while it was Cornwall first time to be honored. The two star hitters were chosen in the annual poll conducted by The Islandian Times.

At age 32 and 10 years in the league Dillinger is still ranked near the top of the IPA elite hitters. Dillinger is a career .319 batter with 357 homers and 1134 RBIs. This season he played in 148 games in left field and led Waleska to the runner-up spot in the RU South with 35 homers, 116 RBIs, 107 runs, while hitting at a .331 clip. Dillinger edged out Claxton second sacker Gary Colton and Colfax catcher Mitch Fullerton for the best-hitter trophy.

Colton sported a .331 mark in 143 games with 41 doubles, 6 triples and 15 roundtrippers, along with 106 RBIs and 96 runs scored. Colton paced the Diamonds to their first RU East pennant since 2019. Claxton climbed from 7th place to first place this season.

The Colfax Blasters has a great season, winning the RU West flag and almost capturing the Pro Cup. Colfax fell in 7 games to champion San Alejo. Fullerton played a huge part of their success with a .351 BA, 17 HRs, 109 RBIs and 81 runs in 132 games.

The Tycobbian Union Golden Bat Award went to 27-year-old center fielder Cotton Cornwall. After five standout seasons with the Ginza Ninjas he signed a fantastic 7-year contract with the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers and he was well worth the money. This year Cornwall led the IPA with a .360 batting average and 126 runs batted in 145 games. He also slammed 44 home runs and scored 97 runs. 6-year IPA veteran Cornwall is a lifetime .325 batter with 201 HRs and 607 RBIs. His Bucs wound up a disappointing fourth place in the TU West.

La Claire Lynx's third baseman Jarred O'Neal came in second in The Islandian Times annual Golden Bat poll. He was in 146 games, batted .327 with 32 homers, 108 RBIs and 89 runs, helping La Claire finish a close second to Rolling Hills in the TU West race. The 26-year-old is a career .280 hitter in his 7 seasons with the club.

Luxora's fine first baseman Gerry Hathaway was the third-highest votegetter. He paced the Zorros to a second-place finish to Fairfax in the TU North with a .313 BA, 40 homers and 108 RBIs, while participating in 134 games. Hathaway is 29 years old and is a .308 lifetime batter with 200 home runs and 592 RBIs in his 7 IPA seasons.
