VIKS CULPEPPER TU GOLD BAT HONOREE
When you hit 60 homers in a season, that should be worth an award or two... Bayview's slugging second baseman Jerry Culpepper had a monster year, batting .307 in 132 games with 119 RBIs and 111 runs scored... that's why he bagged the coveted Tycobbian Union Golden Bat Award for the first time in his career... only IPA legend Jack Elliott has ever had more homers in a season... Elliott holds the record with 65 in 2021 for the High Mesa Cowboys... he also clouted 61 in 2013... lifetime Culpepper is batting .292 and has hammered 209 homers in his six IPA seasons... he is only 24 years old.

Tuckanarra terror Lorne Evans, a five-time Golden Bat winner, fell a little short this season and wound up in the runner-up spot... at 32, Evans prospered with a .307 BA in 148 games, hit 40 roundtrippers, batted in 99 runs and scored 112 times... he also walked 119 times and was an important part in the Blue Jays winning the Tycobbian East Division for the fourth successive season... Evans also went over the 500-mark in homers this year, winding up with 522.

Ginza's rising star Sogo Takagi was third in the voting with a .321 BA, 35 homers, 117 RBIs and 113 runs... the talented center fielder helped the Ninjas to a fourth-place finish in the tough TU South this season... Takagi is 24 and participated in 142 games.
