NCA Batter - It's perhaps an award he'll win many more times through his career, as at age 22 Stu Gains has a lot of baseball ahead of him.
But for now the young The Slog Ghouls star can enjoy the numbers he put up in September, which have garnered him the nod as the North Charles Association Batter of the Month.
His breakout month featured a .353 average with 5 home runs, 20 RBIs and 12 runs scored.
So far this season Gains is hitting .297 with 23 home runs.
SCA Batter - Joe Rathmann may be much younger than other hitters in the South Charles Association, but he performed like a seasoned veteran in September to win the Batter of the Month award.
The 25-year-old FHE right fielder hit .386 with 6 home runs, 16 RBIs and 10 runs scored.
Thus far this season in 120 games Rathmann is batting .305 with 27 home runs, 83 RBIs and 90 runs scored. He has 139 hits in 456 at-bats.
NCA Pitcher - Bry McBourbon took a much-deserved turn in the spotlight earlier today as he accepted the North Charles Association Pitcher of the Month award for September.
The 23-year-old Synths starter is a relative newcomer to the league, but nonetheless racked up an impressive 3-1 won-lost record in 4 starts. This month he fanned 17 batters in 29.1 innings and compiled a 0.92 ERA.
So far this year McBourbon has 12 wins and 10 losses and a 3.35 ERA.
SCA Pitcher - When Eugene Gym takes the hill, there's a good chance for a Roxbury victory. At least that's the way it was in May.
He excelled with a 3-0 mark and a 0.26 ERA in 4 starts, tossed 34 innings, fanned 34, and held enemy hitters to a .185 average.
That's why the Rad Sox star was honored today as the Pitcher of the Month by the South Charles Association.
In 29 starts this season Gym has compiled a 16-6 record and a 2.74 ERA.
NCA Rookie - In September, Danny Machart was tops in his class!
The Salem first-year pitcher put up some super stats and has been voted the North Charles Association Rookie of the Month.
He made 2 starts, logged 15.2 innings, struck out 15 and compiled a 2.30 ERA. He finished the month with a 1-0 record and held opposing teams to a .193 batting average.
To date this season Machart has compiled a 4-1 record with a 4.44 ERA in 2 starts.
SCA Rookie - Youngster Diamond Ball emerged as the latest South Charles Association Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Spectacle Island deserved the honor, batting .314 with 4 home runs and 8 RBI. Is the month of September a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Ball enjoy the limelight.
Currently Ball is batting .318 with 40 home runs and 80 RBIs.
