HARTSDALE HURLER HUMPHREY HAILED AS TU GOLDEN ARM
Sid Humphrey of the Hartsdale Hellcats was on cloud nine during the 2088 season, mystifying most of the hitters he faced, then capping it off with the Tycobbian Union Golden Arm Award. The 34-year-old right-hander is in his 15th season with the Hellcats and getting better with age. Lifetime Humphrey has compiled a 199-160 record with fine 3.35 ERA. He sparked Hartsdale to the Tycobbian North pennant this year. This season's TU Golden Arm led the league in ERA and tied for the lead in shutouts with 5.
Humphrey was spectacular in 31 starting assignments with 25 wins and 2 losses, 264 innings, 168 strikeouts and a fine 2.12 ERA. He fired 17 complete games.
19-year-old rookie Don Bartels (22-8/2.49 ERA/271 IP/19 CG) of the La Claire Lynx finished second in voting, while Miles Chaucer (19-9/2.58 ERA/286 IP/26 CG) of the Ozarka Naturals finished third. Chaucer is just 21. This was also his freshmen season in the IPA.
