The bevy of awards that have been created include: Pitcher of the Year; Batsman of the Year; Fieldsman of the Year (one for each defensive position); Newcomer of the Year (for the best player in his first year of professional baseball, and debuting in the League); and Baseballer of the Year. Each award will be awarded by vote among the players, coaches, managers and baseball newspapermen taking place at the end of each year.
