That's What Cheesehead: 38.53 - Justin Marco Award

With the post-season in full swing without the Wolves as participants, the team went ahead and began its annual handing out of season awards now in order to get a move on with their off-season planning. The first award to be passed out was the Justin Marco Award issued to the team's top relief pitcher in 2038. The pitching as a whole in 2038 was pretty damn putrid ranking dead last in team ERA and runs allowed on the season. The bullpen was slightly better as it ranked 11th in bullpen ERA but that isn't anything to really be bragging about. So with that said, one would assume finding someone to actually give this award to would be difficult.

It was actually easy as there was only one truly worthy candidate.

Hector Diaz just continues to get it done as a Wolves reliever. The 31 year old control artist wins another Marco Award as we've now lost track on how many of these he's won despite not being the team's closer. Diaz appeared in a career high 59 games this season and led the Wolves in wins with 9. He finished the season 9-4 with 4 saves, a 3.19 ERA, and 1.24 WHIP. He pitched 93 innings giving him three consecutive seasons with at least 90 innings pitched out of the bullpen.

Diaz continues to amaze the front office with his ability to limit his walks and allow more homeruns than free passes in most seasons. He did walk more this season (19) than homeruns allowed (16) but for his career that numbers remains the opposite as he's now walked 93 batters for his career despite allowing 94 career homeruns. Despite the lofty homerun totals each year, Diaz is also good for a strikeout an inning on average as he K'd 95 guys this season over the course of the 93 innings he pitched.

Diaz's 1.1 WAR this season finished 2nd overall on the entire team!
