Behind the scenes, this was a fun topic to discuss. While it is technically called the most underrated prospect of the year, it really should be the guy we’re talking about that no one else is talking about. There always seem to be some disconnect or a delayed...
The Reliever of the Year competition was not much of a competition. It, like the Starting Pitcher of the Year, was also unanimous as Jeremiah Estrada took all 3 first place votes. However, it was quite the competition for second and third place as Zac Leigh and Danis...
