2030 New Jersey Athletics MVPA tough one in NJ again this year, (see 2028) but not because of a raft of awesome performances, again no one really took the season by the scruff of the neck.
Going into the playoffs SP Jose Rosario looked to be a good shout for the award, but his 0-3 record in the post-season which included two crucial losses to our rivals from West Hillbilly town mean he slipped down the pecking order.
This season we've plumped for
SS Mo Allbutt. Our English import became just the third ever Athletic to pass .330 in batting average for the season and could be consistently relied on as our leadoff. While the support behind him was somewhat erratic, Allbutt was a model of consistency, also hitting just below .300 throughout the playoffs.
Congrats to Mo!
