2016 Individual Award Winners

Minnesota's Josh Donaldson takes home the MVP with a stellar season (.307, 18 HRs, 53 RBIs, 1.031 OPS, 5.2 WAR).



Michigan's Andrew Miller and his 28 saves (4th all time in FL history). WHIP of .58,  and 1.24 ERA wins the Cy Young AND Rolaids Fireman Relief Award. 



Three sluggers tied for the HR title.  Khris Davis, Evan Gattis, and Carlos Santana each clubbed 25 homers this season.  



Four Kansas City Butcher position players made 1st team All-Star.



Nate Jones joined Andrew Miller to give
Michigan the top pair of relievers in FL history

Reliever Nate Jones of Michigan set a new all-time record for Reliever's ERA at a crazy low 0.23.  Nate went 8-1 with a WHIP of 0.40 and only ONE earned run over 40 innings pitched!

Two teams cracked the all-time most strikeouts list -  Michigan's hurlers totaled 700 K's, now third-best in league history.  Boston was right behind with 698 K's, fourth best ever.

And of course, congratulations to Fred Schmidt, your 2016 Friendship League Manager of the Year!!!

  1. I would like to know what Hal has against me, Steve Willnus, the manager. How can Randy Jones, whose team finished five games behind Maine, finish 5th in Manager of the Year voting, and Maine's manager be nowhere to be found? What gives, Hal?
