Hobbs Leads RU Hitters
With another season in the books, the 2021 Ruthlandian Union batting title has been awarded to Waleska center fielder Roy Hobbs. This is the second time in his 9-year career that he won the batting crown. Hobbs has been runner-up four times. He put up a .347 batting average, recording 214 hits in 616 at-bats. His numbers included 40 doubles, 8 triples, 40 home runs, 114 RBIs and 109 runs scored. This year's batting champ appeared in 149 games. Lifetime Hobbs is a .355 hitter.

Hobbs outhit Todd Nasso of Ancona, who batted at a .341 pace. Taranto's Arnie Kennedy was number three with a .338 average, followed by Slick Hammill of Belle Plaine at .337 and Travis Glass of Elnora, who hit for a .335 BA.

Triple Crown Year for Elliott
2021 will be forever etched into fans minds as Tycobbian Union star Jack Elliott won the 4th Triple Crown in IPA history. It was the second time in his illustrious career that he accomplished the historic feat. Elliott also broke the IPA all-time home run mark with 65 homers, snapping his own record of 61 in 2013. The 28-year-old High Mesa first baseman shined all year long, batting .380 with 65 home runs and 156 RBIs, topping the league in all three categories. Elliott has a lofty .356 career average. Karol Zodoka of East Point was the first triple crown winner back in 2002. Dane Wesner of Fairfax did it in 2010 and Elliott in 2017.

This was the sixth time in seven seasons that Elliott won the TU batting title. He really had no competition - La Claire's Flash Devlin was 27 points behind with a .353 BA, Andy Pearson of Arroyo Grande came in third with a .346 mark, James Mack of Red Bluff was fourth with a .343 average and White River's Hal Littleton and Ozarka's Benny Rousseau came in fifth with a .342 BA.
