Fonseca Gets Award for Relief Work Friday, February 23rd , 2046 Melvin Fonseca said he thinks hitters often underestimate him, as he's only 26 years old. But he'll certainly be getting a lot more respect now, as the Jupiter Hammerheads rising star has won the B Division Reliever of the Year for 2045. He captured the award on the strength of his 0.91 ERA over 29.2 innings. He also had 2 saves in 20 relief appearances, 33 strikeouts and only 7 walks. He received 17 first place votes out of a possible 30. Alan Grossfeld of the Lakeland Flying Tigers finished second in voting with 9 first place votes, while Jose Marrero of the Myrtle Beach Pelicans finished third with 1 first place vote.
