N.Y.L. TEAM OF THE YEAR





NORTHEASTERN LEAGUE AWARD WINNERS


BATSMAN OF THE YEAR: Joe Mitchell (1B, age 33) – Lake Erie B.C.; 1st career B.o.t.Y.

• .375/.430/.449, .879 OPS, 84 R, 122 H, 19 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 61 RBI, 25 BB, 0 SB, 146 TB, 4.3 WPA, 3.5 WAR

PITCHER OF THE YEAR: John Ratican (age 25) – Newark B.C.; 1st career P.o.t.Y.

• 29-9, 1.84 ERA, 133 K, 351.1 IP, 29 CG, 1 SV, 5.5 K/BB, 8.6 HA/9, 1.02 WHIP, 10.3 WAR, 11.2 rWAR
• Led N.E.L. ERA, QS, HA/9, WHIP, WAR, & rWAR; Top five in W, IP, CG, K, K/9, & K/BB
• William Hawk (SUS) 2nd – 33-2, 2.40 ERA, 93 K, 353.0 IP, 28 CG, 0.3 BB/9, 7.2 K/BB, 1.11 WHIP, 7.5 WAR, 8,4 rWAR

Ratican over Hawk was the most controversial decision in Writers Pool history. Hawk tied the N.B.B.O. record for Wins and became the first pitcher to have a Win/Loss margin better than +30 in a single season, but a large faction of the W.P. felt that a merely above average #1 pitcher could have broken 30 Wins if supported by the Susquehanna offense that scored eleven times per game. Those voters broke for Ratican, who “only” had 29 Wins but also had one of the most sterling sets of secondary statistics in N.B.B.O. history, as evidenced by the fact that he passed double digits in both WAR & rWAR.

• Edward Donovan (1B, PORT) 3rd – .335, .840 OPS, 88 R, 105 H, 10 2B, 15 3B, 63 RBI, 21 BB, 49 SB, 5.5 WPA, 2.6 WAR
