Yokoyama Wins Award for AL Dominance Friday, November 8th , 2047 At the age of 23, Kenji Yokoyama says he still has a lot to learn about life in International League. But he certainly seems to be a quick study, as the Columbus Clippers reliever was better than all others this year and has captured the 2047 American League Reliever of the Year. "I hope to win this a few more times before all is said and done in my career," the Asaka, Japan native said. For the season, Yokoyama had 8 saves in 34 relief appearances, which totaled 95. He fanned 105 betters, while walking 26 and put up a record of 9-2 to go with his 1.14 ERA. He received 29 first place votes out of a possible 30. Steven Wolf of the Charlotte Knights finished second in voting with 1 first place vote, while Gilberto Dominguez of the Buffalo Bisons finished third. Player - Team - First Place - Total Points Kenji Yokoyama - Columbus Clippers - 29 - 148 Steven Wolf - Charlotte Knights - 1 - 92 Gilberto Dominguez - Buffalo Bisons - 0 - 21 Inkei Wakamatsu - Rochester Red Wings - 0 - 5 Tommy Benedict - Charlotte Knights - 0 - 4 |
