The 2047 season is in the rearview and post season award votes are mostly tallied. Based on exit surveys and reports from around the league, the Aztecs have high hopes to win a couple of awards.
The first, and most obvious award winner here is Aztec 3B Manny Collazo winning the Charles Puckett Golden Bat Award at 3B, collecting all voters surveyed except for a single Mal Fountain dissenter. Collazo had an outstanding season, even by his standards, pacing JL third baseman in offense across the board and finishing top 5 in the league in batting average (.343 - 5th), Slugging % (.619 - 2nd), WAR (7.5 - 5th), hits (211 - 3rd), total bases (381 - T1st), HR (43 - T2nd), and RBI (126, 2nd). While the votes obviously aren't final, Collazo currently has a seemingly insurmountable lead and should claim his second Puckett award (he also claimed the award in 2045).
The other, and much larger, award victory that reports indicate is looming is Aztec ace Dave Corfield claiming the JL Steve Nebraska Golden Arm award. Corfield lived up to his draft hype and then some in his first full season in the BBA, posting a 17-6 record with a 2.70 ERA. He struck out 255 against only 47 walks in 203.2 innings of work. The young lefty was certainly amongst the JL elite stat-wise, pacing JL pitchers in the following categories: Ks (255), WHIP (0.98), Hits/9 (6.8), OAVG (.210), OOBP (.267), OOPS (.606), and WAR (7.5). If Corfield brings home the Nebraska, it would be the first major individual award winner for the Omaha/Mexico City franchise since the man himself, Enrique Gomez won his second in a Barnstormer uniform in 2028.
Fun fact (unfun fact?) Gomez's 2028 Nebraska and Corfield's potential 2047 Nebraska both came in seasons where the Omaha/Mexico City franchise failed to make the playoffs.
