Bix Hansen Named Pro Cup MVP
Bix Hansen wasn't even on the Eastshore roster until late August. He spent the entire year on the reserve roster, but he was ready when Elegant ace pitcher Danny Siegfried went down to injury for the rest of the season. Hansen stepped in as the number four starter in the rotation and finished out the year with a 2-1 mark in the last few weeks of the season. However, Hansen really stepped it up to another level in the Pro Cup playoffs. The 24-year-old right-hander went 4-0 with a 2.25 ERA and completed all four starts, leading Eastshore to its second IPA Pro Cup crown. Without Hansen, it was doubtful the Elegants could have won for the second year in a row. Today The Islandian Times named Hansen the most outstanding player in the Pro Cup playoffs and honored him with the Most Valuable Player Award.

Turon's fine hurler Shane Farmer was a close second in the balloting. Farmer, a 34-year-old rookie, had a brilliant run in the playoffs with a 4-0 record and a 1.91 ERA. Eastshore RF Stan Cuccinello was ranked third in the award voting. He batted .349 with 15 RBIs and 15 runs scored. Teammate 2B Gerry Garner came in fourth in the poll. Garner hit .353 with 11 RBIs and 14 runs scored in the postseason. Elegant CF Larry Lowe and Typhoon 2B Andy Hansen tied for fifth in the MVP poll. Lowe batted .361 with 17 runs, 9 SBs and 7 RBIs, while Hansen hit .375, scored 20 runs and walked 16 times
