2006 Summer Awards, Part 4

And finally…

Most Improved Player: Jesús Espinoza
Maybe it was the brand new glove, or maybe, just maybe, it was skill and hard work. As the Concord crowd chanted harmoniously, “Hey-shoo, Hey-shoo,” Jesús played solid defense and batted .417.

Top Offensive Player: Andy Orr
There is little doubt to whom the “opie” should go to when you see Andy’s offensive numbers. The East Side captain led the team in RBI and doubles, batted .550, and recorded a hefty .870 RLS and sick .609 TRP.

Top Defensive Player: Brooks Ramsdell
Brooks achieved defensive player of the game honors four times and easily earns the “dopie.” The steadfast West Side captain anchored the defense over the course of a somewhat tumultuous inaugural season.

Most Outstanding Player: Carlo Quinonez
This one was easy. Carlo led the team in triples, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, the RLS and TRP. If there was a triple crown winner, Carlo was it. Carlo also pitched well and became a third middle-infielder, swallowing up several hard hit balls up the middle.

Jesús, Andy, Brooks and Carlo… we salute you.
