Díaz Grabs AP Reliever of the Year Award Wednesday, November 8th, 2051 Augusto Díaz said with his contract set to expire, it was important he put up a big season with the West Island Storm. He did exactly that and has won the 2051 Appalachian Reliever of the Year Award. "When your contract is about to expire and you're maybe going to become a free agent, you really want to show the league that you've still got it," the 32-year-old said. "I think I proved myself and should be able to get a pretty good contract now." His season saw opponents hit only .195 against him, while he fashioned a 1.63 ERA over 93.2 innings of work. He made 80 relief appearances and had 40 saves, with 124 strikeouts, 13 walks and a record of 6-2. Ed Craig of the Richmond Ravens finished second in voting, while Martin Johnson of the Atlantic City Aces finished third. |
