Awards History

Award Descriptions:

Golden Bat Award – Most Valuable Hitter

Gold Glove Award – Most Outstanding Defensive Player: Has traditionally been won by an infielder, but all positions should be considered.

Luis Lopez Award – Most Valuable Utility Player: This player played multiple positions effectively.

Charlie Hustle Award: This player has only one speed between the lines and usually the dirtiest uniform.

Roy Hobbs Wood Bat Award – Best Overall Interleague Performance: The Lone Star Division games count the same in the standings as Capitol Division games, and therefore are essential to a playoff run.

2009 Rood Memorial Award – Most Outstanding Pitcher: Pitched often, pitched well, and “without fear”.

Braves Unsung Hero Award: It is not any one thing or any one player that makes the Braves a successful team. It is a total team effort which includes intangibles. This award is for the player that without their contribution, the team would not be the same. They may coach, organize, do positive things off the field, whatever you think.

Mr. August: Most Outstanding Overall Playoffs Performance: Best all-around performance throughout this year’s playoffs.
