This week's category for Minor League Baseball's End-Of-Year Awards is "Best Reliever". For Short Season Leagues, the only NYPL player to be nominated is Staten Island Yankees' Chase Whitley.
Whitley, a 15th round selection out of Troy University in this year's MLB Draft, appeared in 28 games for Staten Island. Over his NYPL season, Chase went 4-2 with a 1.31 ERA and 15 saves. In 34.1 IP, he gave up 18 hits, 5 earned runs, and 15 walks while striking out 44. He had an impressive GO/AO (Ground Out/ Fly Out) ratio of 1.71 while holding opposing batters to .157 average.
His season was so solid that the Yankees moved him up to the Advanced A team in Tampa in September.
The voting will continue through October 25th.
For those interested in last week's poll, Brooklyn Cyclone Cory Vaughn came in 2nd place for Best Short Season Hitter of the Year.
