NL Aydan Adams Award (MVP): 3B Brice Reynolds (34, Poulsbo Pirates, Pictured) - All season long Brice Reynolds gave opposing pitchers fits by hitting .343 as he collected 219 hits, 37 doubles, 11 triples, 4 home runs, and 62 RBIs. This is Brice’s 6th MVP Award (in time, I may have to rename this award in his honor given that Aydan only won it 5x).
CL Aydan Adams Award (MVP): 1B Logan Gosselin (23, Bellevue Players, 24th OVR pick out of Tacoma Community College) - He had a .336 batting average and a .424 on-base percentage this year. In 135 games he piled up 171 hits, 43 doubles, 3 triples, 25 home runs, 103 RBIs, and 94 runs scored.
NL Mason Donnelly Award (Top Pitcher): SP Alonzo Okabe (24, Federal Way, 11th overall pick out of Big Bend Community College) - Okabe compiled a 19-8 record in 35 starts, tallied 156 strikeouts in 269 innings and recorded a 2.71 ERA. Other clubs managed only a .236 batting average against him.
CL Mason Donnelly Award (Top Pitcher): SP Britt Haight (29, Mt. Vernon, 251st overall pick out of Seattle Pacific University in 1967, Pictured) - With a record of 21-14, Haight was certainly a worthy winner. He made 37 starts and rang up 304.2 innings, 233 strikeouts, and a 2.60 ERA. This is his 3rd Donnelly Award.
