WYATT AND KOVALENKO TOP ROOKIES
There was a bumper crop of newcomers this year in the Islandian Pro Alliance. Heavy-hitting Johnny Wyatt of Middlefield and steady Stan Kovalenko of Bay St. Clair were selected the Rookie of the Year for their respective leagues. Wyatt pick up the Ruthlandian trophy and Kovalenko received the Tycobbian award.

Ruthlandia's best rookie was Johnny Wyatt. The 22-year-old right fielder for the Middlefield Roosters had a fantastic freshman year with a .287 BA, 45 homers, 121 RBIs and 93 runs. He was one of the main ingredients in the Roosters piling up 104 victories and hauling in the Ruthlandian West pennant. Wyatt was third in the IPA in homers and sixth in RBIs.

Waleska's flame-throwing Trey Earnest was a very close runner-up to Wyatt. The 21-year-old recorded 20 wins and 12 losses with an excellent 2.91 ERA for the third place Westerners in the Ruthlandian South Division. Earnest throws in the high 90's and posted 20 complete games in 36 starts, 3 shutouts and fanned 212 batters in his inaugural season.

Third in the RU Rookie of the Year balloting was Wyatt's teammate Timothy Hayworth, who played left field for Middlefield. Hayworth batted .315 with 12 homers, 97 runs, 59 RBIs and 20 SBs.

The top rookie in Tycobbia was 25-year-old outfielder Stan Kovalenko. He played in 146 games for the Bay St. Clair Buccaneers collecting 37 doubles, 4 triples, 17 roundtrippers and 86 RBIs, while stealing 22 bases and batting .276. Kovalenko was one of the prime movers in the Bucs rise from last place to first place this year.

In second place in the rookie voting was Johnny Helwig of the Chicopee Braves. The 26-year-old left fielder won the Tycobbian batting title with a .366 BA. In 122 games Helwig had 8 homers, 58 RBIs and scored 80 runs. Nonetheless, the Braves finished a poor sixth in the TU West.

Number three in the rookie poll was 20-year-old right fielder Eldon McLennan of the Colchester Elites. He posted a .328 BA with 25 doubles, 14 triples, 8 HRs, 63 RBIs, 79 runs and 39 SBs. McLennan tied for the IPA lead in triples and was fourth in stolen bases. The Elites wound up fifth in the TU South.
