2018 League Award Winners

The SWBL has handed out some hardware to their top performers for the 2018 season.  The non-statistical awards were voted on by all 11 teams in the league.

MVP - Patrick Vandoorne (Boissevain)

Vandoorne posted unbeleivable stats at the plate this year, leading the league with a .630 batting average while scoring 21 runs and swiping a league high 13 bases.  Vandoorne also helped out on the mound, earning both a win and a save in two appearances.

Rookie of the Year - John Patmore (Reston)

Patmore was an integral part to the Rockets' success this year.  At the plate he hit .407 while leading the team in at bats (54). plate appearances (59), hits (22), runs (19), singles (15), doubles (4), triples (1), home runs (2), stolen bases (4), and total bases (34).  Patmore also added 15 1/3 innings on the mound going 1-0.

Mark Minor - Most Inspirational Player Award - Dana McNish (Rivers)

The following is the write-up submitted to the league upon nomination from the Rivers Comets:

At 38 years old, Dana is the emotional leader of our team. When we were debating on whether to leave the league in Brandon it was Dana who spoke up and said we need to go to the SWBL because it is a better league and it is better for us. His point swayed a bunch of guys who were undecided if we should leave. He was a leader on the field this year hitting .469 with 3 home runs. Dana also dedicates his time to coaching in Rivers Minor Baseball and is always there for a work bee or when a project is started at the ball diamond, and sits on the executive of the River baseball Association which helps manage and run the ballpark.
