NEW YORK LEAGUE AWARD WINNERS
BATSMAN OF THE YEAR: Francis Smith (CF, age 33); Metropolitan B.B.C.; 1st career B.o.t.Y.
.365/.380/.513, .893 OPS, 92 R, 126 H, 19 2B, 13 3B, 2 HR, 69 RBI, 8 BB, 37 SB, 177 TB, 4.0 WPA, 3.8 WAR
Led N.Y.L. in SLG, H, TB, & WAR; Top five in OPS, XBH, & 3B; Top ten in five other categories
Jemke v. Zutphen (2B, STAR) 2nd .372, .912 OPS, 61 R, 106 H, 16 2B, 6 3B, 3 HR, 53 RBI, 16 BB, 3.3 WPA, 2.8 WAR
David Bertolet (3B, SYR) 3rd .377, .865 OPS, 87 R, 126 H, 12 2B, 6 3B, 1 HR, 73 RBI, 16 BB, 4.2 WPA, 3.0 WAR
Van Zutphen had higher slash figures but missed nine starts, and Smith, a 7x All-Star and 1x league M.V.P., had a better all-around season while batting over .400 after July 1st.
PITCHER OF THE YEAR: Charles Rhodes (age 29); New York Athletic Club; 4th career P.o.t.Y.
24-14, 2.29 ERA, 147 K, 342.0 IP, 27 CG, 2 SHO, 5.4 K/BB, 3.9 K/9, 1.17 WHIP, 10.6 WAR, 8.5 rWAR
Led N.Y.L. in W, K, CG, SHO, K/9, K/BB, & WAR; Third consecutive N.Y.L. Pitcher of the Year award
Olaf Sorensen (ATL) 2nd 23-10, 2.74 ERA, 57 K, 335.0 IP, 21 CG, 1 SHO, 1.3 K/BB, 1.17 WHIP, 5.5 WAR, 7.7 rWAR
William McMahon (BED) 3rd 20-14, 2.68 ERA, 92 K, 349.1 IP, 22 CG, 2 SV, 3.0 K/BB, 1.32 WHIP, 8.9 WAR, 6.0 rWAR
At this point it could be argued that The Colossus has become too dominant for the N.B.B.O., but its a poorly kept secret that N.Y.A.C. pays him more than about half the regular pitchers in the A.P.B.L., including 31-game winner Bert Landreth of champions Knickerbocker. At a time when many people work twelve-hour days for six days a week just so they can eat, Rhodes has zero interest in jeopardizing that kind of job and pay security.
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Jules Thomas (SS, age 26); Minuteman B.B.C.; 1st career M.V.P.
.339/.368/.444, .812 OPS, 98 R, 113 H, 14 2B, 9 3B, 1 HR, 74 RBI, 14 BB, 33 SB, +10.7 ZR, 4.2 WPA, 3.1 WAR
Top ten in H, 2B, RBI, TB, & WAR; Career highs in R, H, RBI, BB, SB, TB, & WPA
Ben Gagliardi (SS, ATL) 3rd .340, .753 OPS, 91 R, 111 H, 16 XBH, 1 HR, 61 RBI, 32 SB, +17.3 ZR, 5.1 WPA, 3.1 WAR
Manuel Romeiras (CF, NYAC) 2nd .301, .753 OPS, 79 R, 104 H, 18 2B, 9 3B, 0 HR, 56 RBI, 23 BB, 80 SB, 3.5 WPA, 2.9 WAR
There wasnt a standout superstar among the also-rans in the N.Y.L. this season, so the Writers Pool went with the default method of having one star from each of the three regional champions as the finalists, and Thomas excellent season was the best of the three.
GREENHORN OF THE YEAR: George Spatz (LF, age 27); Empire B.B.C.
.318/.342/.415, .757 OPS, 78 R, 105 H, 18 2B, 4 3B, 2 HR, 62 RBI, 8 BB, 16 SB, 137 TB, 4.1 WPA, 2.1 WAR
Made All-Star Game; Led N.Y.L. Greenhorn batsmen in R, H, WPA & WAR
Colin McLean (3B, COL) 2nd .332, .757 OPS, 55 R, 100 H, 10 2B, 4 3B, 1 HR, 53 RBI, 9 BB, 3.0 WPA, 1.5 WAR
James Butcher (1B, BED) 3rd .308, .745 OPS, 67 R, 92 H, 12 2B, 6 3B, 65 RBI, 24 BB, 37 SB, 3.0 WPA, 1.6 WAR

TEAM OF THE YEAR
NORTHEASTERN LEAGUE AWARD WINNERS
BATSMAN OF THE YEAR: Leroy Moore (RF, age 24); Philadelphia Baseball & Cricket Club; 1st career B.o.t.Y.
.381/.412/.552, .964 OPS, 90 R, 131 H, 13 2B, 23 3B, 0 HR, 91 RBI, 16 BB, 6 SB, 190 TB, 6.4 WPA, 3.6 WAR

Moore hit the ground flying in his first season in the N.B.B.O., batting .395 through the end of July before cooling off in August. His four seasons with P.B.C.C.: Reserve team, then regular RF, then star batsman, then B.o.t.Y. Whats next for the 24-year-old?
PITCHER OF THE YEAR: William Hawk (age 28); Susquehanna B.C.; 2nd career P.o.t.Y.
32-9, 2.22 ERA, 101 K, 5.6 345.0 IP, 27 CG, 0 SHO, 5.6 K/BB, 2.6 K/9, 1.21 WHIP, 8.7 WAR, 9.8 rWAR
Led N.E.L. in W, K/BB, & WAR; 30+ Wins for second consecutive season & 3rd time in career
John Faulker (LBR) 2nd 29-11, 2.63 ERA, 85 K, 356.1 IP, 30 CG, 1 SV, 2.4 K/BB, 1.33 WHIP, 7.5 WAR, 7.2 rWAR

No controversy this year. Without another historic season to compete against, Hawk was clearly the best pitcher in the Northeastern League.
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Lennon Haley (2B, age 30); Lancastra Britannia; 1st career M.V.P.
.369/.382/.506, .888 OPS, 95 R, 121 H, 15 2B, 15 3B, 0 HR, 71 RBI, 9 BB, 34 SB, +14.1 ZR, 4.4 WPA, 4.3 WAR

Bertrand Bosley (C, GM) 3rd .338, .875 OPS, 62 R, 94 H, 20 2B, 12 3B, 1 HR, 71 RBI, 42.9 CS%, 5.9 WPA, 3.0 WAR
Schultz was just as good as in any of his three recent M.V.P. campaigns, but Haley was even better, and that was how Lancastra was able to keep up the pressure on Susquehanna for so long. Bosley was the shining light for 33-37 Green Mtn.
GREENHORN OF THE YEAR: Francis Beckham (CF, age 29); Lord Baltimore
.301/.357/.408, .765 OPS, 71 R, 96 H, 17 2B, 7 3B, 1 HR, 68 RBI, 23 BB, 9 SB, 130 TB, 4.5 WPA, 2.8 WAR
