Custom award idea

krownroyal83 · 04-16-2022, 02:16 PM

So after thinking about what I was going to do with the custom award I decided to make it easy on my self and give the award to the player that finishes the season with the highest Win probability added. I'm calling it the Golden Clutch award. Am I right in assuming this stat is for players that contribute the most wins to their team? If so this seems like a pretty good award to have. Also if someone can come up with a better name than what I have that would be great.

Mine is called Mr. Baseball and is given to a person who is rated as extremely popular nationally and has a top 5 war and has never won the award before. Most of the time it's a batter but sometimes a pitcher wins it. I figure it's different enough that's it's not a traditional mvp award.

10th Player Award (cribbed from the Red Sox).

Player who contributed more to his team's success then expected at the outset of the season.

I do one for my team and one for each of my two leagues.

I've never used the custom award. I do like this idea and may give it a go.

Reading the thread I had the thought that an award for the largest differential between Walks/K's would be nice. Sort of old school, guys who put the bat on the ball and work their way on base by way of a walk.

I use the custom award as the Stolen Base Award, which is awarded to the top player in each league in stolen bases.

I've always done something like that in my old-timey 1800s leagues but called THAT the Most Valuable Player award, while the regular MVP award would be called "Batsman of the Year" or "Batter of the Year", or something like that.
