NINJAS' BROPHY NABS PRO CUP MVP
There was no clear standout in the Islandian Pro Alliance Pro Cup Series... the media was split about who the Most Valuable Player was... finally, it was the pitchers, who came out with the most support... the 2059 Pro Cup Most Valuable Player trophy was awarded to the Ginza Ninjas' ace twirler, Kurt Brophy... followered closely by Ninja closer Abram Worth... it was a tight tussle between those two... Brophy picked up 45 points in the voting, while Worth came in second with 35... three others received some support... Ginza right fielder Gideon Tracy and catcher Gerry Glidden tied for third place in the balloting with 15 points apiece... fifth in the MVP voting was Valmara's first sacker Timmy Benford with 10 points.

Brophy, a 23-year-old right-hander, made five starts in this year's postseason playoffs, posting a 3-0 record with a superb 1.36 ERA in 40 innings... each of them were quality starts... Ginza won four of the five games... Brophy pitched 7 excellent innings, allowing only one run in the no-decision extra-inning defeat... for the regular season, he chalked up a 17-7 mark with a 3.28 ERA in 30 starts.

Abram Worth, a 6-foot-6 southpaw giant, had a super season with 35 saves and a 2.29 ERA in 61 relief appearances... in the playoffs, he was 2-0 with 3 saves in 9 appearances... the 29-year-old Worth tossed 20 innings and registered a sparkling 0.89 ERA... both Worth and Brophy played critical roles in the Ginza Pro Cup victory run.

The Ginza hitters were also a prime part of the Pro Cup triumph with Gideon Tracy and Gerry Glidden the main two batters... Tracy topped the club in 16 postseason games with a .338 BA, 6 doubles, 1 homer, 14 RBIs and 15 runs scored... Glidden only batted .246, but he walloped 6 out of the park in the playoffs and drove in 14 runs... many of his were game-changing hits.

Valmara's Timmy Benford had a brilliant postseason at the plate, batting .424 with 28 hits, 7 two-baggers, 1 home run, 13 RBIs and 10 runs scored... he was a vital part of the Vipers getting to the Pro Cup Finals.
