Rookie Ball Legionaires – Coach Jay Ashwin
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) – Josh Ashwin
Josh is a true baseball kid that just loves to go out and play. His head for the game and quick, defensive talent epitomize the Gold Glove Award and make him a natural fit to receive it. Coaches lost count of how many double plays he turned or was a part of this year. Josh is the kid that always wants the ball hit his way when the game’s on the line.
Batting Champion – Carson Durnin
Carson led the Major Rookies this year with an outstanding .803 batting average. His 57 for 71 record was topped only by his 27 Runs and 30 RBIs as well as the fact that this was only his first year of rep ball. Not only was Carson one of the most consistent hitters on the team, but he was also one of the fastest base runners, which contributed to his 2 in the park homeruns and multiple extra base hits.
MVP– Carter Lamb
Carter is what baseball is all about. This southpaw’s hustle, attitude and love for the game all contributed to him winning the MVP Award for the second year in a row. Definitely one of the most reliable gloves on the field, and his ability to stretch and dig throws out of the dirt at first base saved big outs on many occasions. Carter’s bat also became one of the more consistent ones in the lineup and his baseball IQ and smart base running skills made him a valuable team member both offensively and defensively.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minor Mosquito Legionaires – Coach Aaron Marshall
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) – Michael Quick
This newcomer quickly made a mark for himself both behind the plate and at 2nd base. Mike Quick played the game with heart and left it all out on the field. His determination to continue to grow and become an even better player proved to be his success over the season. Over the season there were countless occasions in which Mike sacrificed his body for the betterment of the team.
Batting Champion – Nathan Marshall
The Minor Mosquito’s Batting Champion this year goes to a player that led the team with a .546 batting average. Over the course of the season this players timely bats provided the team with valuable runs and bases. Contributing to the team with 53 RBI’s Nate Marshall’s bat was invaluable this season. Not always a power hitter Nate came through in key situations that helped with the teams undefeated regular season.
Top Pitcher– Nolan Hartley
Pitching in over 22 games this seasons with 55 innings under his belt this first year pitcher was a force on the mound. Over the course of our season Nolan Hartley had great command of the ball and struck out 112 batters. Nolan not only gained the respect on the mound from his own team mates, but received accolades from many other coaches and players throughout the season.
MVP– Nolan Hartley
This year the Minor Mosquito Legionaires success was a team effort. There were numerous players that could easily been chosen for this award, rightfully. One player in particular who shone throughout the year and grew in many areas of his game is this year’s recipient . This player played through injuries, gave 100%, 110% of the time. His drive to be a great player was seen by all he faced. Nolan Hartley is this year’s Minor Mosquito MVP.
Mosquito Legionaires – Coach Geoff Whent
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) – Ty Coleman
Ty is a product of the Oshawa Minor House League and Select program. Playing in his first year at the rep level, he showed strong practice habits and rapidly became one of the best defensive infielders in the EOBA.
Batting Champion - Griffin McMillan
Griffin stepped up many times this year when we needed a big hit and led the team in hitting during the playoffs and OBA championship. His extra work in the hitting cages helped him to become one of the most feared hitters in the EOBA!
Top Pitcher - Connor Allen
Connor was our go to guy and took the mound in the most important games. He showed strong command of both his fastball and change up. He led the staff in wins, strike outs and innings pitched.
MVP - Jacob Miller
As a catcher, Jacob played one of the high impact positions on the team. He developed into the best catcher in the EOBA and completely shut down the running game of our opponents. Jacob also hit in the middle of our order and drove in a large amount of runs in key situations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minor Peewee Legionaires – Coach Kevin Wilson
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) – Andrew Robertson
Walking onto the field you know that this kid can play. He's at ease anywhere on the field and played the middle infield, centrefield and catcher this year. Andrew committed the fewest amount of errors in his positional play, the best thing about him is that he is very good at every position he is placed in.
Batting Champion — Quinton McRae
His sweet powerful swing made every at-bat an exciting one. He relished hitting against the best pitchers in the league and usually won the battle. He led the team in every extra base category and had a .642 slugging percentage. His most memorable hit was a walk-off grand slam.
Top Pitcher — Declan Shaw
As a rookie on the team, coaches weren't sure what to expect from the Big Bear. It took one game to realize he could throw heat. He was the go-to starter and led the team in innings pitched and strike outs.
MVP — Addam Wilson
He was considered for every team award this year and was an easy choice for MVP. Whenever we needed someone to take control on the mound, defensively or at the plate in a key situation, he was the guy leading the charge. During the last inning of the championship game of the Georgetown Tourney, Addam who was pitching picked a player off at first base to end the game, and bring the title to Oshawa.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peewee Legionaires – Coach Scott Arbuthnot
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) —Jacob Davis
Jacob caught the majority of games this past season and did an outstanding job behind the plate. He was very consistant in his play, worked very well with all the pitchers, calming them down and calling great games in helping the team succeed. He was very good at blocking the ball this year and also threw out a ton of base runners with his accurate arm. ( Career high 5 base runners in one game )
Batting Champion—Carter Arbuthnot
Carter led or tied most of the offensive categories on the team. His team high 56 hits and team high 43 rbi’s were a boost to the team’s overall success. He could always be counted on making contact when he stepped into the batter’s box, earning him the team’s top batting average with a solid 471 average on the year. Carter was named to the EOBA All-Star team this past season, along with being named to the Nationals All-Star Team in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
Top Pitcher—Jacob Rienstra
Starting a career high 14 games. He pitched against all the top teams and always gave the team a chance to win. Jacob’s record this year was 9 wins and 3 losses, He pitched 57.5 innings, allowing 37 hits, he had a team high 61 strike outs and had an very respectable 3.65 earned runs against. JR had some great outings but one worth mentioning was his effort at the CNE. He pitched a great game vs the North York AAA team in the quarter finals. For his efforts Jacob was named the game’s MVP and he also was selected the outstanding player of the CNE Peewee tournament (28 other teams competed)
MVP - Davis McMillan
Davis played many different positions this year, playing 3rd, 2nd, SS, pitching, catching and the outfield. He played all the spots that were asked of him as a player, he especially did a great job in the CF position for the team. He always worked hard at practices but also put in a lot of extra time on his own which paid off. Davis led the team in extra base hits, 13 doubles, 3 triples and 2 homeruns, he tied for 2nd with 30 RBI’s and had the 2nd best batting average at 354. Davis was also named to the Peewee EOBA All-Star game in Oshawa by his teammates.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minor Bantam Legionaires – Coach Ken Babcock
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) —Matthew Robinson
This player established himself as one of the best 2000 born catchers in the province this past season helping lead his team to an Ontario Silver medal. Defensively a stalwart behind the plate whether it be receiving, working with the pitchers, superior blocking ability or throwing out would be base stealers. He is a player who is willing to put in the extra time to get better.
Top Pitcher—Braden Babcock
Every team has a go to pitcher they can consistently rely on in key situations and Braden Babcock continues to be that kind of pitcher. Matching up against other teams top pitchers and big games constantly. He led the team in wins and had a stellar 2.17 ERA. Pin point control and a strong command of the strike zone where in 89 innings pitched he walked only 10 batters during the season. A workhorse as well as a unique ability to recover quickly was displayed at the Ontario Championships where he threw 189 pitches over the 4 day OBA event in 3 appearances.
Batting Champion—Kyle Stevenson
Kyle led the team in just about every offensive category this past season. His .375 batting average was tops on the team and makes him the team batting champion.
MVP - Kyle Stevenson
Middle of the order bat with middle of the order power is what this young man possesses. Has developed into one of the most feared bats in the GTA and thrives on pressure situations. As evidenced by his hitting display at the Ontario Championship semi-final and final at the Stadium when it counted most. Including a mammoth inside the park homerun in the Ontario final that one hopped the Kinsmen stadium wall in deep RF. His value to the team is not limited to offense as he is one of the top pitchers in the EOBA (leading the team in Strikeouts) and also handles the glove smoothly in the field along with a strong and accurate arm. One neat note is that Kyle finished 3rd in the Baseball Youth Nationals HR derby in Louisville, Kentucky. Behind a player from Houston, Texas and a player from Cincinnati, Ohio. Pretty impressive. Kyle is the go to player on the team and very deserving of these awards.
Bantam Legionaires – Coach Tony Quick
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) —Josh Arce
Josh is a back to back gold glove award winner. As a catcher, Josh is the premier blocker in the league. Pitchers are confident that they can throw any pitch, in any count and Josh will be able to handle it. Working with coach Jamie May, Josh has been able to improve his ability to throw out runners while working on his foot work and arm strength. Josh's biggest improvement came in calling a game for his pitchers. Josh demonstrated an ability to understand the game and keep hitters off balance.
Batting Champion - Griffin Oliver
In 2014 Griffin overcame a broken leg in February. After suffering the injury Griffin immediately made it his goal to get back to start the season. Although he did not fully recover until later in the summer, he was able to pinch hit and contribute right away to his team's success. As the season went on Griffin became stronger and his accomplishments at the plate were paying off for the team. Griffin's passion for baseball and contributing to his team's success, helped him overcome a difficult injury and ultimately led him to a batting title hitting .385 overall.
Top Pitcher – A.J. Higdon
10-0, 1.92 ERA, 56IP, 52K's
AJ used his smooth delivery and calm demeanour to lead the Bantam Legionaires in victories and strikeouts, second in innings pitched, and third in ERA. AJ also had 2 key relief appearances in tournaments that kept his team alive and their impressive tournament record intact. AJ's dedication to fitness paid dividends for him and resulted in a very successful season.
MVP - Brendan Robertson
Statistically Brendan was near the top of nearly every offensive category, while playing great outfield defence and contributing from the mound as a member of the pitching staff. Brendan went 3-2 with a save. His ability to throw strikes and work at a good pace kept his team in all the games he pitched in. Brendan finished second in batting .364, first in hits 52, second in stolen bases 27. Brendan’s abilities on offence and defence helped his team to a very successful season.
Minor Midget Legionaires – Coach Steve Crouse
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) — Noah Southwell
Noah to play everyday. Outfielders get so little recognition when it comes to valuable defense, this year Noah changed all that. A mainstay in left field, few players anywhere read the ball off the bat as well as Noah. His 6th year on the 98 born Legionaires team was his best yet, his commitment and dedication to defense in left field was second to none. Acrobatic diving catches and accurate throws to save a run at home are the norm for him.
Batting Champion - Zach Humeniuk
A fine example of continuous improvement , from a bottom of the order hitter 2 years ago to a feared hitter in 2014. Zack possesses the sweetest swing in the EOBA. He has the speed to beat out the infield hits and the power to knock down the fences. Zack always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to boost our team with the big hit when it was needed most.
Top Pitcher - Jack Riordan
Jack has been a Legionaire for 8 years and has been a catalyst on every team he has played on for coach Crouse with his hitting and defense. In a much bigger role in 2014 Jack was expected by the coaching staff to be the shut down pitcher in every big game …and he did not disappoint. Jack accepted every challenge along the way, often pitching dominate games against teams 2 years older. Think Major League Hall of Famer Greg Maddux when you watch Jack work his way through an opposing teams lineup with a knee buckling curve ball, a seasoned split finger and a sneaky fastball. The Minor Midget teams run to the final 4 at the OBAs would not have been possible without Jacks poise on the mound in 2014.
MVP - Greg Mcarton
Greg, a top of the order hitter and the best center fielder we saw all year. Greg is also quite possibly the fastest player in the EOBA, a phenomenal athlete who can also play flawless 2nd base when asked upon. Hits , steals bases plays defense but most of all Greg thinks the game while he is on the field, the way he anticipates and reads plays and pitchers is a rare tool very few players possess. Loves to practice and has become a leader on the team. One of Greg's strongest qualities is leadership.
Midget Legionaires – Coach Andy Leonard
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) — TBD
Batting Champion – TBD
Top Pitcher – TBD
MVP – TBD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Junior Legionaires – Coach Jim Walerowich
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive Player) - Aaron McQuillen
Aaron is a 2 time MVP of the Junior team. He is and has been a leader and the back bone for 3 seasons. He is not a vocal leader but more of a lead by example player. His work ethic is second to none. No matter what the score is you could always count on Aaron to hustleout a hit or make a play. He has patrolled CF at Kinsmen for the past 3 seasons with both the Junior team but also Durham College. This year Aaron lead the team and possibly the league with a perfect fielding % of 1.000. He had 70 put outs and 5 OF assists.
Batting Champion - Duncan Watt
This is Duncan's second time as Junior batting champ. Duncan finished the season with a batting average of .461, a slugging percentage of .551 and on base % of .547, 8 doubles and scored 30 runs.
Duncan was a offensive catalyst for us, he usually hit in the 2 hole and set the table usually for the 3-4 hitters. His great knowledge of the strike zone was evident with a very impressive 13.25 at bat per strike out ratio. Duncan is currently attending Westminster College in Pennsylvania.
Top Pitcher - Ryan Norris
This season was a transitional year for our pitching staff. As a second year Junior Ryan was one of the few guys the coaches were looking to take a leadership role with what turned out to be a very young staff. Ryan stepped up better than could be expected. His commitment to be the "Ace of the staff" was evident in his preparation before each start, which the rookies caught on to. He was ready and willing to take the ball any time we needed him to. Any BIG game Ryan wanted and expected the ball, as any ACE would. Ryan led the team in wins, strike outs and innings. Ryan is a horse and a true competitor. He is currently attending and playing varsity baseball at Durham College.
MVP - Logan Stewart
Logan was a first year player and made an immediate impact with our team. He was extremely versatile. He played RF, 1B, 3B, caught and was the primary closer. He lead the team in innings played at 235 and had a fielding percentage of.921.
As good as Logan was defensively he was better with the bat. He led the team in hits with 43 and doubles with 9. He had a batting average of .394, slugging % of .523
Logan is the definition of team player, he did whatever was needed or asked of him. The team always came first. Logan is currently attending MacComb College in Michigan.

SELECT LEGIONAIRES MVP AWARDS Presented by Lori Harris
Mosquito Select MVP -
Ryan Magrath.
Upon joining the team this year as our primary catcher, it was quickly apparent that Ryan's true passion was pitching. Given the challenges of the position, especially at this age group, Ryan worked relentlessly with the coaching staff to develop in to our bona fide ACE. By the end of the season he consistently delivered quality inning after inning of great pitching. His often quiet demeanor and always respectful attitude made him a pleasure to coach. Ryan made the Legionaires Minor Peewee Rep 'A' team for 2015.
Pee Wee Select MVP - Jarrod Harris
Jarrod had an outstanding year for Oshawa Legionires Pee Wee Select Baseball Team. Jarrod was the toughest out at the plate for opposing pitchers throughout the year. He is a clutch hitter with runners in scoring position. Jarrod led the team in batting average as well as extra base hits.
Jarrod's outstanding defense at short stop assisted the team getting to the EOSBA finals for the first time. Jarrod's biggest strength for this team and coaching staff was his ability to come in as the closer. Jarrod would come into close key games for the team the entire year from our successful tournament as finalist in Peterborough, to our hard fought battle to get to EOSBA finals.
Bantam Select MVP - OWEN HURTIBESE
There isn't a quicker ball player at any age group than Owen !!
He had an inside the park homerun and many many doubles and stolen bases.
Stealing bases is easy for this player!! He is a very good catcher with the baseball smarts beyond his years. And a strong and accurate arm. Beyond all he is an exceptional person. Very polite and a pleasure to coach.

REP COACH OF THE YEAR Presented by Scott Arbuthnot
Presented to Tony Quick – Bantam Legionaires
It goes without saying that coaches play a big role in the development and success of a baseball team, both in terms of wins and losses and the overall experience of players and team supporters.
Good baseball coaches are instructors that must possess expert knowledge of the sport. They must teach the basics and beyond. Teaching skills takes time and unwavering patience. A great baseball coach makes each practice and game, win or lose, fun; and does their best to make each player feel valued, and that they are making a contribution.
A great baseball coach is able to identify each players’ strengths and put them in a position to be successful as individuals, and to help the team be successful.
A great baseball coach utilizes the expertise of all assistants to maximize the effectiveness of each practice.
A great baseball coach teaches discipline and values; is a leader and good role model who can change a collection of individual players into a family.
This year’s Baseball Oshawa coach of the year exemplifies all of these standards and values. He is a humble leader who asks only of his players to be the best they can be: in practices, in games, and away from the baseball diamond. He asks players and parents to cheer on the Oshawa team, but respect the skills of opposing players and respect the decisions of umpires.
This year’s coach of the year has guided a group of players which has developed and grown together over a number of seasons – some have been together for six years, experiencing new milestones, occasional setbacks, and mentoring them through triumphs and near-misses. He’s often the last person at the diamond, long after everyone else has left to go home, putting equipment away and grooming the field to
This season, his team set a goal of bringing home the EOBA championship. And what a year 2014 was: they won three tournaments (Simcoe, Bolton and Vaughan); and at the EOBAs they had to win elimination games against Ajax – and then Peterborough twice, in the space of a just couple of hours.
His players will tell you: they wanted to win that final EOBA championship game, but more than anything they wanted to do it for their coach. The final score in that last game: Oshawa 5, Peterborough 0.
Tonight our entire association gets a chance to recognize “him” with an award he richly deserves, one that isn’t quite so wet:
Please join us to congratulate a “great” baseball coach, and Baseball Oshawa’s 2014 Rep Coach of the Year, Tony Quick.

REP TEAM OF THE YEAR Presented by Scott Arbuthnot
Oshawa Minor Rookie Ball Legionaires – 2014 Ontario Champions
The 2014 minor rookie season started off with a bang. The boys came out firing on all cylinders and upset two major Rookie Ball teams. With a 3 and 0 record the team was turning some heads. Next the team was off to St Thomas for their first tournament where the success continued ,going undefeated they were in the finals but came up short against a very good La salle team. Then reality set in with a 7 game losing streak which can happen with a minor team playing mostly majors. But in the end it was a good learning experience. Ending the season with a 7 and 15 record in the Major loop is quite an accomplishment. The team was back on track and heading full steam into the OBA's. With every player taking their game to a new level there was no stopping the Legionaires very youngest rep team .Going undefeated and winning the Ontario championship game 20 to 8. 2014 Ontario Champions and the 2014 Oshawa Legionaires Rep Team of the Year. Congrats to Coach Mike Hunter……..assistant coaches and players.

2012 Baseball Oshawa YEAR-END AWARDS NIGHT WINNERS
Rookie Ball Legionaires AWARD WINNERS 2012
Rookie Ball Blue 17-8 Head Coach Scott McKeagan
Batting Champion (with Batting Avg.) - Nolan Hartley .720 Batting Average
Nolan led the Major Rookie Blue team this year with an impressive 0.72 batting average. Not only did lead the team in hitting, he was also our youngest player on the team. Nolan was challenged this year to change many characteristics in his swing and he took on the changes with a positive attitude and a great work ethic that made him one of the league’s best overall hitters.
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive player) - Cody Hefford
MVP - Cody Hefford
Cody is what baseball is all about, hustle and effort. Cody came to every practice and game with a strong desire to not only win but to improve himself as a baseball player. As one of the hardest working players on the Rookie Blue Team, Cody has been chosen to not only win the Most Valuable Player Award but also the Gold Glove award. It’s because of Cody’s dedication to the game; he was able to become a defensive standout to not only our team but to our competitors as well. When you factor in his speed and instincts, Cody was a natural fit to win both awards this year.
Rookie Ball Gold 3-24 Head Coach Jim Gordon
Batting Champion (with Batting Avg.) - Tristan DesLauriers .633 Batting Average
Tristan was one of our most consistent and reliable bats this year with a .633 batting average, He was also one of our bigger cheerleaders helping keep things as loose as possible on the bench and in the stands, he was a pleasure to work with and we wish him well in his future endeavours.
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive player) - Jacob Smith
Jacob epitomises the word determination, his complete fearlessness made for many spectacular displays with his glove no matter how dangerous or difficult the play, and Jacobs’s efforts were second to none.
MVP - Mitchell Gordon
Not always the most spectacular on the infield but definitely the most reliable and consistent, on either of the hot corners. Mitchell also led the team in home runs and extra base hits and was one of our most dangerous bats all year.
Minor Mosquito Legionaires AWARD WINNERS 2012
Minor Mosquito 13-15 Head Coach Rob Robertson
Batting - Andrew Robertson .657 avg.
Andrew had a team high 44 hits, 51 stolen bases, .735 on base average, and was tied for the team lead in runs scored. He had great bat control and struck out a team low 6 times in his first year of live pitching. He was third on the team in rbi’s and at one point during the season reached base in 11 consecutive at bats.
Gold Glove (Best Defensive player) - Quinton McRae
Quinton was unbelievable behind the plate and was a game changer for our team. In a year where catcher’s have to deal with stealing for the first time Quinton was able to throw out numerous runners and completely shut down some teams to the point where they would not even attempt to test his arm. He was excellent at receiving the ball and let very few balls get behind him. Quinton played hard game in and game out and set a great example for his teammates of how to carry themselves on and off the field.
Top Pitcher - Dustin Welker
Dustin had a fantastic year pitching and gave us a great chance to win every time he stepped on the mound. He led our team in wins and had some huge games including a 7-strikeout win against Guelph in the OBA’s and a complete game against Bolton where the only run he gave up was unearned. Dustin worked very hard on his pitching all year and threw a hard fastball that many hitters could not catch up with and the occasional change up to keep them off balance.
MVP - Addam Wilson
Addam had a great year offensively and played a stellar centre field. He had a team high 33rbi’s and was top three in hits, runs and average. He made numerous big catches in the field and was able to track down many balls that looked like sure hits off the bat. Addam was primarily an infielder in previous years and when asked to try the outfield he adjusted right away and gave us great defense all year long to go along with his clutch hitting.

Minor Bantam 22-2 1st Place EOBA CHAMPS Head Coach Steve Crouse
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive player) - Greg McArton

As the starting centre-fielder, Greg's work ethic and dedication to practice has turned him into the best outfielder in the EOBA. Greg's ability to read and track a ball off the bat is 2nd to none. Greg is the definition of "you play like you practice". Throughout the season, Greg was also asked to fill in at 2nd base, a transition that he performed flawlessly. Congratulations Greg!

This is his 2nd straight year winning this award as he was the top Bantam pitcher in 2011. Congratulations to Wesley Paquette – the Oshawa Midget Legionaires Top Pitcher.
MVP - Jamie May & Mitch Cook
The Oshawa Midget Legionaires have selected two most deserving players as the team’s MVP’s for 2012.
Our first recipient had many different roles on the team and willingly did whatever was asked of him. Offensively he led the team in RBI (47) and homeruns (3) , was second on the team in total bases (65) and slugging percentage (.474) and 4th in runs scored (39), and hits (41). One of his most memorable accomplishments was hitting for the cycle early in the season versus Ajax. In addition to his offensive contributions he was also solid on the mound with a 5-2 record and 4.73 ERA in 53 innings pitched. Defensively he saw time at just about every position – always ready to play, and play well, wherever he was needed. He is a team leader who his teammates look up to and respect and excels in every position and situation he is placed in. Congratulations to Mitch Cook –Oshawa Midget Legionaires Most Valuable Player for a second straight season.
Our next recipient had an equally successful season. Offensively, as the leadoff hitter, he led the team in walks (45) and stolen bases (25). He was second in batting average (.338), Runs (46), Defensively he led the team with a .976 fielding percentage – only 7 errors in 287 attempts and took charge of the infield. He was the starting catcher for 35 of the team’s 46 games including five OBA Championship tournament games in two days. The intangibles, his leadership role and knowledge of the game were also key factors in the team’s success in 2012 and his selection as most valuable player. In his first year back in Oshawa Baseball since Peewee, he worked hard to recruit players to return to the team and was a major factor in assembling the first Oshawa Midget team with a winning record since 2006.
Congratulations to Jamie May –Oshawa Midget Legionaires Most Valuable Player.
Junior Legionaires AWARD WINNERS 2012
Junior Head Coach Jim Walerowich
Batting Champion (with Batting Avg.) - Duncan Watt .362
Duncan batted .362 this season. He is a player that was very hard to defend due to his ability to hit to all fields at any point in the count. His ability to hit any pitch also at anytime was key to his success. Duncan has the ability to drive the ball to all parts of the field as well as drop down a bunt when called upon and unselfishly sacrifice himself for the team.
Gold Glove Award (Best Defensive player) - Nathan Barr
Nathan is the Junior team Gold glove winner for 2012. Nathan is a catcher and his play behind the dish was above and beyond the defensive play above all. His blocking during the season saved numerous runs and his cannon for an arm cut down runners at an alarming rate. Nathan is the true field general in every sense, he controls the whole defense and does it without hesitation. Nathan has also gained the trust and respect of the entire pitching staff.
Top Pitcher - Brad Pullan
Brad is the prototypical #1 starter, he has plus fastball that he can command at any count and consistently throw for strikes. He also has a curveball and changeup that is among the best in the league, along with messing around with a splitter that he has been learning during the season. Brad has all the qualities of a true #1... any big game he wanted the ball and I believe expected it. There was no challenge too big for him. Brad found a way to rise to the occasion time and again. Brad was "the man" and his teammates knew it. He is a workhorse that could be counted on every time he was given the ball.
MVP - Aaron McQuillen
He was a first year player on a young team that was trying to find its way. Aaron played both Centre and Right field and patrolled the outfield like a young Devon White with a Dave Winfield type arm. Aaron always gave 100% and was one of if not the hardest workers on the team. As a leadoff batter his speed was utilized along with his ability to hit for average and power. Aarons love for the game was infectious amongst the team, he was regularly the first to show up for practice and always wanted extra work. This is an honour that is truly earned, he is what a MVP exemplifies.
