Division 2 MVP
Colin Hannigan, 2B, Vancouver Mounties
Hannigan, who had shown immense promise with a 6.3 WAR 2024 at age 24, was still productive in ‘35 and ‘36, but hadn’t reached those previous heights again. He did this year, hitting .269/.390/.502 (that OBP leading D2) with a career high 22 homers and a 15.9% walk rate while playing strong defense at second to amass 7.3 WAR and give Vancouver a fighting chance in the D2 West.

Division 2 Pitcher of the Year
Sean Cooper, SP, Detroit Stars
Despite making only 23 starts for the Stars due to injury, Cooper was a unanimous choice for the award, with teammate Chris Morris coming in a distant second. Cooper was 12-2 with a 2.56 ERA and D2 best 0.97 WHIP and 78 FIP-, while striking out 205 in 172 innings for a 4.3 WAR. The best game of his career came on April 24, when he k’d 15 Terrapins in a 4-3 victory.

Division 2 Reliever of the Year
Matt Greene, CL, Vancouver Mounties
Greene had a dominant 2037, totalling 3.4 WAR as a reliever in just over 76 innings. Greene allowed just two homers and saved a league-best 40 with a 2.36 ERA despite a .326 BABIP; his FIP was a mere 1.95, half the league average. This is Greene’s first Reliever of the Year Award.

Division 2 Rookie of the Year
Yukinobu Hasegawa, SS, Ft. Worth Cats
Hasegawa, a highly-anticipated international free agent from Japan, signed with the Cats in January. Hasegawa is a talented and versatile defender at any position, and won a Gold Glove at shortstop along with his Rookie of the Year. Hasegawa hit 25 homers with an OPS above .800 in his first season in the NABF.
