Players of the Month - May 2036

Delaware Conference

Bentall Wins Best Bat Award in May: Stephen Bentall battered Delaware Conference pitchers all May and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award. "I've been around DELMARVA Baseball League long enough to know you really have to work hard day in and day out to be able to put up this kind of consistency," the 30-year-old Bentall told reporters. "I put in a lot of work, even on the days I might not take the field, and it's always nice when everything comes together for me like it did this last month." In 28 games, Bentall hit .362 with 8 home runs, 26 RBIs and scored 16 runs. In this current campaign Bentall is hitting at a .356 clip with 12 home runs and 46 RBIs.

Miller Nets DE Conf #1 Pitcher Award: Gabino Miller's been around the league long enough to appreciate the honor he received today. After going 5-0 in May, the 27-year-old Seaford hurler has been named Delaware Conference Pitcher of the Month. He fanned 45 in 38.2 innings, logged an ERA of 1.86 and allowed opponents to hit .179 against him. This season Miller has crafted a 7-1 mark with a 2.40 ERA in 71.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .203 against him and he has 75 strikeouts.

Delaware Conference Names Rookie of Month: Bobby Hamilton earned May's Rookie of the Month honors in the Delaware Conference for last month's performance. The boyish Seaford third baseman might be wet behind the ears, but he's proving that he has what it takes to play at this level. Hamilton hit .459 with 5 home runs, 13 RBIs and 8 runs scored this past month on his way to winning the award. Hamilton is hitting .450 in 2036 with 14 RBIs and 5 home runs.

MarVa Conference

Jackson Takes Best Bat Trophy in May: Martinsburg Mountaineers fans may just have witnessed a star player blossoming before their eyes in May. Tyrone Jackson put up a remarkable month at the age of 21 and has been named the MarVa Conference Batter of the Month. For the month, Jackson hit .407 with 9 home runs, 14 RBIs and 24 runs scored. Currently Jackson is hitting .377 and has collected 17 home runs, 31 RBIs and scored 45 times, while playing in 48 games.

Senators Hurler Named MV Conf's Best Starter: Veteran Anthony Sinclair put together quite a successful stretch in May for the Washington Senators, earning himself the MarVa Conference Pitcher of the Month award. Sinclair racked up a 5-0 record in 6 starts, posting a 0.86 ERA over 42 innings and striking out 42. For this year Sinclair has chalked up 8 wins and 2 losses in 11 starts with 76 strikeouts in 74.1 innings and a 2.06 ERA.

MV Conf Selects Rookie Star of the Month: Ka-pa Zhou is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest MarVa Conference Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers. In May the Martinsburg hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .372 average with 45 hits, 4 home runs and 23 RBIs. So far this season Zhou has 11 home runs and a .396 batting average.

Standings - May 1st, 2036

The leaders of the Colonials Division is starting to separate with the Blue Jays gaining 9 games in May. It looks like this might be a 1-team race as the Blue Jays are the only team playing over .500. The Blue Jays are lead by OF Todd McFarland who is hitting .340-4-27 and OF Anibal Corona who is hitting .256-7-25. And on the pitching of things they may have a one of the top rotations with Gabino Miller (7-1 2.40), John Smith (6-0 1.85), Jacob Young (5-2 2.55) and Yi-Xiao Zha (6-3 2.51). This might be the Blue Jays year...

The Northern Division is a mess with the Blue Hens leading the way with a 27-24 record. The Iron Pigs, Millers and Cannons are all striking distance with the Cannons being 5 1/2 games out. This division might come down to who gets hot at the right time. Right now it looks like the Blue Hens are in the drivers seat, but an injury to ace Erik Gonzalez (3-4 months) might come back to haunt them.

The Braves were the favorites heading into the season, but with a wrath of injuries with 7 players on the DL the Sixteens have snuck in and taken a 5-game lead. However, the Sixteens have 6-players of their own on the DL. Will that open the way for the Brewers or Beacons? But the Sixteens do have a strong starting staff. Should be an interesting division when it is all said and done.

Leaders:
Average: Stephen Bental, Sixteens: .356
HR: Victor Daniel, Iron Pigs / Lorenzo Montoya, Blue Hens: 16
RBI: Stephen Bental, Sixteens: 46
WAR: Stephen Bental, Sixteens: 2.7

ERA: John Smith, Blue Jays: 1.85
W: Dustin Harris, Beacons / Gambino Miller, Blue Jays: 7
K's: Three-tied with 75
SV: John Perez, Brewers: 17
WAR: Chris Brock, Sixteens: 3.3

The Beltway Division is still the Senators who only increased their division lead by one game in the month of May. The Admirals aren't too far behind, but will need to start playing better to keep up with the powerful Senators. The Senators lead the MVC in runs scored with 285 with a lot of that going to MVP candidate Manuel Miranda and his .361-17-45, and free-agent signee Ira Kelly (.329-12-32).

The Cardinals started to pull away in the Mountain Division with a 20-9 May, giving them breathing room over the Express and the Mountaineers. Lead by a balanced offense (Winston Davis: .272-16-41, Allen Graves: .301-8-32, and Rodney Byrd (.348-8-36) and a solid pitching core (Earl Fuller: 7-2 3.10, Raul Martinez: 5-1 2.18, and Jose Lerma: 5-2 4.15) the Cardinals are the likely winners. The predicted winners, the Royals, haven't been able to find their footing, but did play better in May than they had in April. At 10-games out they better start making a move.

The Cavaliers came back down to reality, and the Blue Crabs got hot and now it looks like there might be a 2-team race in the Coastal Division. With the Cavaliers down their big bat Oliver Ramos (.324-9-32) they will look to veterans Henry Rojas (.281-8-30), Artie Hamilton (.215-3-14) and Tom Brown (.192-1-3) to pick up the slack till Ramos returns. Hopefully their #1 ranked starting staff will be able to fend off the Crabs: Jaoquin Hernandez (4-3 2.08), Gonzalo Bustamante (6-1 1.96), Bob Davis (6-5 2.79), Ernie Kennedy (7-3 2.79) and Juan Gonzalez (.4-2 4.38), the only one not to win a Golden Arm Award (yet).

Leaders:
Average: Ka-Pa Zhou, Mountaineers: .396
HR: Gabriel Krook, Barons: 19
RBI: Gabriel Krook, Barons / Manuel Miranda, Senators: 45
WAR: Tyrone Jackson, Mountaineers: 3.9

ERA: Jesus Cruz, Senators: 1.94
W: Three tied with 8
K's: Anthony Sinclair, Senators: 76
SV: Travis Abadee, Cardinals / Buck Schaefer, Surf Dawgs: 16
WAR: Bob Davis, Cavaliers: 3.1
