2007 Regular Season Awards

We have previously announced the winners of the Jeffrey L. Lewis trophy for rookie of the year. Suzuke Mazdahonda wins for the Major league and Delmon Jefferson for the Superior league.

The Roger Chillingworth award is equivalent to MLB's Cy Young award for best pitcher. In the Major league, Roger Lewis took 6 of 8 first place votes and wins the award. Roger had a 21-9 record, a 2.44 ERA, and struck out 300 batters. Willis Brusstar and Mazdahonda also received 1st place votes. Mazdahonda finishes second overall with Brusstar third and Stuart Coppolla fourth.

In the Superior League the award goes to Henry Rollins, the Saving Ute. He took home 3 first place votesand won a close match over Cleveland's Jimmy Doyle and Toledo's Paul Williamson. Rollins set a Ute record with 53 saves in the regular season. He added 6 saves in the Superior League playoffs and 2 more (both 2 inning power saves) in the World Series, then he was the winning pitcher in game six to give Utah the Championship. Rollins sets an alltime record of 61 saves including the postseason. Bernie Grayson previously held the record, he had 56 saves in 1993 and 3 more in the playoffs.

The Major League MVP award was close, but Brett Solo edged out Paul White for his first award. Solo hit .293 with 36 homeruns and 111 RBI while playing great defense at shortstop. White hit 49 homers and drove in 124, but as a big slow 1B did not add the defensive value. Chad White finished third and Miguel Tejawa and Stan Marsh tied for 4th.

In the Superior League the voters could not ignore Adama Dunn's numbers despite his team's last place finish and Dunn having no defensive value as a DH. Dunn's hitting was just too far above everyone else. He hit .295 and led the league in Slugging percentage (.645), runs created (163), runs scored (132), runs batted in (151), walks (115), and homeruns (58). He also led the league with 166 strikeouts. Frank Lewis finished second, followed by Joe Young and Mark Crawford.
