Most Improved Player: Clifton
Posted by Mark Smith – 1 Comments
Clifton brings home his third strait award of 2008 as he is this year's Most Improved Player. Clifton had a great season in 2008 as can be seen by how his numbers impr
oved from 2007. With only 9 more at bats than he had last year Clifton was able to increase his hits from 49 to 65, his runs went from 31 to 45, home runs skyrocketed from 4 to 15, RBI from 22 to 32, his KO dropped from 8 to 6 just to name a few. One of his most significant increase was in his batting average which went from .576 to .691. Of all the improvements Clifton made from last season to this season perhaps the one that is the least recognized but that might be the most significant is his pitching stats. His ERA went from 5.25 to 9.87, that's incredible! He finished with the third best ERA in the league. He also won 3 games and had 3 saves to boot, he only had one save last year and no wins. Clifton's turnaround was simply amazing - he increased or stayed the same in every single offensive category and increased every pitching category as well. If Clifton can do the same thing next year we won't be talking about Most Improved but rather Most Valuable!
All Votes: Clifton - 29, Kimball - 23, Brandon - 18, Craig - 7
