Hobbs Is RU Swing King
No one hit Ruthlandian Union pitching at a better clip than Waleska's Roy Hobbs in 2022. Playing in 148 games this year's batting champ registered a .356 average with 230 hits, 35 home runs and 132 RBIs. This was the second year in a row the brilliant 29-year-old center fielder has claimed the award and the third time in his 10 years in the league. Hobbs is batting .355 over his entire career and he led the Westerners to their best record in the past six seasons as they wound up second to Crystal Lake in the RU South.

Marston's standout center fielder Russ Woodward was beaten out by 3 points as he batted .353 in 148 games with 38 homers and 116 runs batted. Another great center fielder came in a distant third with a .338 average. Joe DeLucca of the Volusia Vigilantes collected 21 roundtrippers, 87 RBIs and scored 109 runs in 146 game appearances. The V's came in fourth in their division.

High Mesa's Elliott Takes Home TU Batting Honors
Most players consider individual recognition less important than team success. Nevertheless, Jack Elliott admitted, "It always feels good to win an award." Yesterday, the 10-year veteran first baseman for the High Mesa Cowboys was officially recognized for winning the 2022 Tycobbian Union batting title with a .364 average. It's the 7th time Elliott has captured the batting crown. The 29-year-old slugger played in 154 games and finished the season with 206 hits, including 29 doubles, 9 triples and 51 home runs, batted in 133 runs and scored 143 times. Elliott led the IPA in runs scored and also has the highest lifetime batting average in the IPA with a .359 BA.

Elliot had a hot and heavy duel with an old rival,Turon's gifted first sacker Clyde Kingsford, and won by just two percentage points, .364 to .362. The 36-year-old Kingsford also played in 154 games, smacked 40 out of the park, drove in 122 runs and scored 105. The Typhoons wound up second to the powerful Arroyo Grande Suns in the TU South. Another first baseman Johnny O'Rorke of Ginza ended up third with a .339 BA, 100 RBIs and 33 home runs.
