Glasco's Perrier Sweeps Up RU Rookie of the Year Award
Nicky Perrier's age didn't show very often in his first year. He performed more like a veteran on the hill for the Glasco Athletics and today he walked away with the 2011 Ruthlandian Union Rookie of the Year Award. The 20-year-old starter registered a 20-12 record this season in 39 starts. Over 289 innings he gave up 228 hits, struck out 194 and issued 104 walks as he held the opposition to a .222 batting average and fashioned a 2.77 ERA.

Middlefield's CF John Hartung was a distant second in the voting. He hit only .259, but smacked 19 homers, scored 94 runs and batted in 63 in his first year. Wynnamac pitcher Lennie Ward was third as he registered a 15-18 mark, but had a solid 3.04 ERA.

Nats Roberts Choice for Best Newcomer In Tycobbia
In his initial season, Eddie Roberts proved he could be a real big game pitcher for the Ozarka Naturals. He was so good that he was christened with the Tycobbian Union Rookie of the Year Award today. Roberts put up an 18-9 record in 33 starts. The Ozarka rookie recorded a 3.51 ERA in 246 innings as he fanned 221 hitters and walked 92.

Roberts' main competition came from closer Bobby Maas and CF Derek Ryckman, both of Cape Coral. Maas wound up in second place and Ryckman was third. Maas saved 24 games, made 47 appearances and compiled a 7-3 record with a superb 1.52 ERA. Ryckman batted .271 with 19 home runs, 77 RBIs and scored 83 runs.
