FOUNDERS’ CUP M.V.P.: James Burke (CF, American)

AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE AWARD WINNERS
Career award totals are carried over from the NBBO

BATSMAN OF THE YEAR: James Burke (CF, age 33) – American B.C.; 3rd career B.o.t.Y.

• .387/.415/.521, .936 OPS, 120 R, 165 H, 22 2B, 16 3B, 1 HR, 80 RBI, 20 BB, 90 SB, 222 TB, 5.3 WPA, 6.0 WAR
• Led A.P.B.L. in AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS, R, H, 3B, XBH, SB, TB, & WAR; 3rd B.o.t.Y. in four years
• Eamonn Todd (3B, StJ) 2nd – .354,. 824 OPS, 74 R, 136 H, 19 2B, 6 3B, 1 HR, 95 RBI, 18 BB, 3.8 WPA, 3.9 WAR
• Garfield Koonce (1B, KC) 3rd – .353, .821 OPS, 73 R, 143 H, 20 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR, 65 RBI, 15 BB, 3.6 WPA, 2.6 WAR

This is how it works: if you lead the league in ELEVEN offensive categories, then you win B.o.t.Y. Nobody came remotely close to Burke’s level of production with the bat this season, and while it wasn’t the 7.0 WAR season of Nelson Townsend in 1871 he definitely deserved the unanimous vote. Todd emerged as a star in 1876. Koonce’s consistency earned him 3rd place.

PITCHER OF THE YEAR: Simeon DiStefano (age 25) – American B.C.; 1st career P.o.t.Y.

• 29-17, 2.54 ERA, 28 K, 392.2 IP, 30 CG, 1 SV, 392.2 IP, 0.7 K/BB, 10.1 HA/9, 1.23 WHIP, 3.9 WAR, 11.3 rWAR
• Set A.P.B.L. record for rWAR; led league in W, ERA, IP, & HA/9; 2-0 (2.65 ERA, 3 K, 17.0 IP) in Founders’ Cup
• Bert Landreth (KNI) 2nd – 23-18, 2.75 ERA, 96 K, 377.0 IP, 30 CG, 1 SHO, 5.3 K/BB, 1.21 WHIP, 6.7 WAR, 4.2 rWAR
• Howard Burns (StJ) 3rd – 21-17, 2.83 ERA, 69 K, 372.1 IP, 28 CG, 1 SHO, 5.3 K/BB, 1.24 WHIP, 7.0 WAR, 6.2 rWAR

If going by overall stat line then P.o.t.Y. could’ve been shared by Jim Creighton & Elmer Seabold, but the Excelsior men both went 21-21 and the voters aren’t going to put a .500 season on a pedestal. Enter DiStefano, whose dependability was brilliant in his own way. Knick #1 Landreth turned potential into stardom. Burns had his best season, and he just turned 27.

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: James Burke (CF, age 33) – American B.C.; 1st career M.V.P.

• Also named A.P.B.L. Batsman of the Year
• Led A.P.B.L. in Batsman WAR by 0.8; 3rd in WPA; Named Most Valuable Player of Founders’ Cup
• A. Mascherino (2B, KNI) 2nd – .332, .799 OPS, 83 R, 133 H, 29 XBH, 76 RBI, 13 BB, 36 SB, +15.7 ZR, 2.4 WPA, 5.2 WAR
• Albert Stoffers (3B, MB) 3rd – .373, .833 OPS, 99 R, 141 H, 23 2B, 3 3B, 73 RBI, 7 BB, 2 SB, 5.4 WPA, 2.8 WAR

Burke becomes the first to win B.o.t.Y. & M.V.P. in the same year because, in addition to leading the league in eleven offensive categories, he led the league in Batsman WAR, was top-three in WPA, and was M.V.P. of the Founders’ Cup. Until August it looked like Mascherino would win, but he went cold late. Stoffers responded brilliantly to his position switch.

GREENHORN OF THE YEAR: Alfred Williams (3B, age 29) – Kings County B.B.C.

• .292/.320/.400, .720 OPS, 86 R, 125 H, 18 2B, 14 3B, 0 HR, 55 RBI, 14 BB, 14 SB, 171 TB, 3.5 WPA, 2.3 WAR
• Only Greenhorn to make A.P.B.L. All-Star Game
• Cletus Cannon (2B, StJ) 2nd – .321, .753 OPS, 102 R, 128 H, 25 XBH, 1 HR, 68 RBI, 16 BB, 53 SB, 2.7 WPA, 1.8 WAR
• Harold Durand (LF, MB) 3rd – .335, .776 OPS, 61 R, 111 H, 17 2B, 7 3B, 56 RBI, 2 BB, 4 SB, 2.3 WPA, 1.1 WAR

Williams didn’t hit .300 but he was close to the mark, and he was a good defender & decision-maker on the diamond, which put him above Cannon & Durand. Cannon was a prototype St. John’s batsman at 2B, but his defense (-15.7 ZR) was lacking. Durand was the best hitter of the three, but baserunning & defense were issues as he adjusted to professional baseball.
