The career Mountie finally broke out to have his best season in the majors yet. He made his 4th All-Star game (first since 2053) and looked dominant behind the plate for the Mounties all year. He was arguably the best hitting catcher in the Frick League this year, and led the team in Homeruns. Of course the issue is that with this great performance, will he opt-out of his contract with the team? GM Wharram knows he wants to keep him around as long as possible.

Wait what? A winner that's not Phil Cole? Well that's what happens when an ill-fated injury knocks you out of a potentially Nebraska winning season. Fortunately Ngo has been more than deserving to take this award home. After being (in my opinion) completely overlooked for reliever of the year last season, Ngo went on to have another season of excellence. Sure the advanced statistics aren't in his favor but a 1.98 ERA is nothing to sneeze at. He was the highlight of an excellent Mounties bullpen this year.
