CBO Players of the Month

Top Hitting Performance - The top hitting performance in the CBO came on May 7 when University Point's 1B Barker Cocoa went 3 for 3 with a double, two home runs, two walks, scored four runs, and drove in six against Goodneighbor.

Top Pitching Performance - SP Sheng Kawolski had the month's and the season's top pitching performance on May 29 when he held Egret to just two hits in 9.0 innings, walking one and striking out 12 in the Diamond City victory.

NCA Hitting - Dusty Brownell battered North Charles Association pitchers all May and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award.

"I've been around Commonwealth Baseball Organization 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 Brownell 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 22 games, Brownell hit .398 with 11 home runs, 22 RBIs and scored 21 runs.

So far this year Brownell has 16 home runs and a .304 batting average.

SCA Hitting - To survive in the bigs, you've got to be a scrapper like Barker Cocoa. It never pays to take a day off from the batting cages or to shrug off the advice of the hitting coach. It all paid off today as University Point's first baseman pinned down the South Charles Association Batter of the Month trophy today.

He hit .506 in May collecting 13 home runs, 34 RBIs and 31 runs scored.

In 42 games this season Cocoa has compiled a .445 batting average with 65 hits and 19 home runs. He has also scored 51 times and knocked in 53 runs.

NCA Pitcher - Capping off a whirlwind month in which he went 5-0 with a 2.09 ERA, Beachboy Nut was selected as May's North Charles Association Pitcher of the Month today. Reporters caught up with the elated Nordhagen Beach starter as he left the clubhouse.

"I know it's difficult for pitchers -- when you have a bad start or two, people start wondering if you've lost it. Then you ride stretches like this one for all you can. You find it easier to come to the park every day because know you're contributing to the club, not just waiting for your turn in the rotation to make up for your last start."

Beachboy Nut definitely contributed to the club. He had 5 starts, throwing 43 innings, striking out 29, and holding the opposition to a .219 average.

So far in 10 appearances this season, Nut has recorded 7 wins and sustained 1 loss. He has pitched 81 innings, yielded 62 hits, fanned 57 and has a 1.89 ERA.

SCA Pitcher - The best pitcher this past month in the South Charles Association was Admiral Kelm of the Egret Ninjas. He really razzle-dazzled league hitters, finishing May with a standout 5-1 record and 2.39 ERA.

The Ninjas hurler made 6 starts and surrendered 34 hits in 49 innings. He struck out 34 and walked 16.

Kelm has made 11 starts so far this year and put up a 9-2 won-lost record with a 2.80 ERA. In 86.2 innings he has allowed 65 hits, walked 38 and struck out 57.

NCA Rookie - Kilometers Davis is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest North Charles Association 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 The Slog hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .284 average with 25 hits, 4 home runs and 16 RBIs.

Davis is presently hitting at a .346 pace with 14 home runs and 41 RBIs. He has played in 42 games and scored 31 times.

SCA Rookie - Steve Mirv's eyes seem to light up whenever he sees the baseball. The young Goodneighbor first baseman has been hitting everything in sight for the better part of a month.

In May he was voted the Rookie of the Month.

During the month he hit .240 with 3 doubles, no triples and 3 home runs. Mirv also scored 12 times and drove in 16 runs.

Mirv is currently hitting at a .243 pace with 6 home runs and 28 RBIs.

MML Analysis

Forty games into the season, and most teams have some semblance of life as their top players also hope for a call up to the CBO. Divisional leaders are Abernathy, Everett, Providence, and Warwick.

1B Justin Loki of Pleasant Lake (CC) had an outstanding game on May 12 against Natick. Loki was 4 for 6 with four home runs, four runs, and nine RBI. The four home runs and nine RBI ties him with four other players for the Massachusetts Minor League Record. On the season, Loki is batting .316 with 26 home runs and 53 RBI in 40 games.

SP Jake Campbell of the Foxborough Minutemen (Good) also had an outstanding performance on May 5 against Brookline.

Looking at his season stats, Force has compiled a .500 batting average and a .571 on-base percentage, while hitting 8 home runs and driving in 20 runs.

LL Pitcher - When Cameron Wellman takes the hill, chances are good for a Abernathy victory. At least that's the way it was in May.

He excelled with a 5-0 mark and 4.19 ERA in 5 starts, tossed 38.2 innings, fanned 26 and held others clubs to a .253 average.

That's why the Adamantium star was honored today as the Pitcher of the Month by the Legends League.

SL Pitcher - The Pitcher of the Month Award has been announced and the Stars League winner is Sandwich hurler, Van Funky. For his standout performances in May he has been named the league's best pitcher.

In the current season in 8 starts, Van Funky has a record of 5-1 with 48 strikeouts in 55.1 innings and a 2.93 ERA.

BMU Analysis

Teams have played 27 games, so leagues are still tight with 10 games equaling the largest deficit in any one league. League leaders are the Brockton Irish and Tenpines Bluff Manta Men; Mystic Pines Raybathers; Neponset Park Criticals; and Forest Grove Pugilists and CGP Demolition.

The 22-year-old Brockton first baseman hit .333 with 11 home runs, 22 RBIs and 22 runs scored.

MA Hitter - Weston DeGurlz has a lot going for him. The Hull right fielder just broke into the majors this year and now the Massachusetts Association has just picked him as its top hitter for May.

In 18 games last month this outstanding rookie batted .411 with 5 home runs, 20 RBIs and 19 runs scored.

CA Pitcher - May's premier pitcher was Pizza Castellanata of Mystic Pines Raybathers. He pulverized Commonwealth Association hitters all month long and picked up the Pitcher of the Month award. The Raybathers star hurler fashioned a 4-0 record en route to the honor.

He had 24 strikeouts in 32 innings and compiled a 2.81 ERA. Other clubs hit .244 against him.

MA Pitcher - When Waxer Lucatero takes the hill, he's a good bet to nail down the victory for the Neponset Park Criticals. At least that's the way it was in May.

He excelled with a 4-0 mark and 1.73 ERA in 5 starts. In 36.1 innings, he fanned 29 and walked 8.
That's why he was honored today as the Pitcher of the Month by the Massachusetts Association.

The top hitting performance tied the top performance score from April. On May 22, C Taron Malicos of Revere Beach (Nah) was 4 for 4 with a double, a home run, a walk, two runs, and six RBI in his team's 11-5 win over Parsons Asylum.

SL Pitcher - In May, when the name of Sean Greentop appeared on the Pioneer Park lineup card it was a virtual lock on a victory. He started 5 times and chalked up 5 wins and no losses. With those stats it was also a virtual lock that he would be named the South League Pitcher of the Month.

Greentop shackled opposing batters on 32 base hits and a .201 batting average. He rang up 46 strikeouts in 44 innings of work, surrendered 12 walks and fashioned a sparkling 2.45 ERA.

CYL Players of the Month NR Hitter - Aaron Wright is not used to being associated with Batter of the Month-caliber players, but today the Beantown center fielder joined that select company when the North Region announced the results of May's voting. Wright totaled 39 hits, 16 walks, 7 home runs, 23 RBIs and 24 runs scored last month to put together a .424 batting average and .509 on-base percentage. Wright is hitting .335 for the season with 17 home runs, 52 RBIs and 46 runs scored. He has 82 hits in 245 at-bats and played in 65 games. SR Hitter - At only 16 years of age, Cocky Collins could very well have many more months like this last one during his career. That would be great news for fans of the Eastham Rads, as May was one to remember for the first baseman and he has captured the South Region Batter of the Month award. On the month he hit .368 with 12 home runs, 26 RBIs and 19 runs scored. For the year Collins is batting .276 with 18 home runs, 45 RBIs and 36 runs scored. NR Pitcher - Alex Language dazzled opponents on his way to the North Region Pitcher of the Month award for May. Posting a 6-0 record and a 0.53 ERA, the Beantown Sprouts starter held opposing hitters to a .144 batting average while striking out 59 in 50.2 innings and giving up 15 walks. For the year Language has compiled a 14-0 record with a 1.38 ERA. SR Pitcher - The hottest hurler in the South Region last month was Jazz Delgado of the Pawtucket Paw Sox. He caught the attention of everybody in the league with some eye-catching stats, good enough to win the SR Pitcher of the Month. In May, Delgado starred with an impressive 5-0 record. In 6 starts he gave up 29 base hits and struck out 39 in 45 innings with a 1.00 ERA. This year Delgado has a 10-2 record with a 2.01 ERA.
