RU's Sellers, TU's Brooks Top IPA Pitchers
Jeremy Sellers of Elnora and Dixie Brooks of East Point were first-time recipients of the prestigious IPA Golden Arm Awards, symbolic of the top pitchers in the respective leagues. They were selected in The Islandian Times poll. Sellers won the honor in the Ruthlandian Union, while it was given to Brooks in the Tycobbian Union. Sellers outdistanced Walt Thurber of the LaGrange Sports and Rudy Rosario of the Colfax Blasters. Brooks got his main competition from Hillsboro's Gregg Hughes and Kenny Nikas of Fairfax.

For the second straight season Sellars led the Elnora All-Stars to the RU East pennant. Sellers was the IPA leader with 26 victories this season, ending up with a 26-9 record and an impressive 2.51 ERA. The All-Stars were the top team in the IPA with 105 wins. Overall in his 5 years, the 28-year-old southpaw has racked up a 70-44 record with a 3.06 ERA. Sellers posted 4 shutouts, completed 16 games and fanned 143 batters in 305 innings.

Thurber, the number-two man in the poll, was vital part of the first divisional flag for the LaGrange Sports in 25 years with a 22-9 mark and a masterful 2.23 ERA. In third place was 28-year-old right-hander Rudy Rosario, who wound up 22-9 with a 2.44 ERA for the RU West champion Colfax.

The East Point Panthers wound up third in the TU East standings this year with a lot of help from Dixie Brooks, the Tycobbian Golden Arm winner. Brooks chalked up a sterling 2.21 ERA with 18 complete games and 261 strikeouts in 322 innings. On the year Brooks was 19-13. In his career the 26-year-old righty is 113-83 with a 3.07 ERA. Brooks' most formidable challenger was the IPA ERA leader Gregg Hughes of the Hillsboro Blazers, who came in tied for fifth place in the TU East. Hughes, a 32-year-old left-hander, was superb with a 1.96 ERA and a 19-11 record. In third place in the voting was 29-year-old Kenny Nikas of the TU North-winning Fairfax Frogs. Nikas piled up the most wins in the Tycobbian Union with a 25-9 mark and 2.58 ERA. It was his first season with the Frogs, who made him into a starter. In his first 9 seasons Nikas had previously pitched for three other clubs and stood out in the bullpen.
