Awesome thanks!

The Vipers' 2023 MVP again goes to SP Jin Ojima.  Ojima had a career high and led the league in wins with a 19-3 record.  His achieved a 2.64 ERA and struck out 224 batters.

Indiana's 2024 team MVP didn't have anyone achieve a true dominant year.  Antonio Herrera hit 35 HR through the month of July but fizzled out in the final 1/3rd of the season.  Closer Willie Watson had 44 saves but still far from his best season.  No starters had anything resembling a career year.

Having said all that, Tommy Carr had arguably his worst season statistically.  Despite this, Carr is the Vipers' MVP for 2024 leading the team in batting average (.338), OBP (.442), hits (195), runs (89), and walks (98).

In a down year for the Vipers, the 2025 team MVP honor goes to 1B Jon Harper.  With a .306 average, 13 HR and 59 RBI, Harper was a bright spot for the team offensively.

The 2026 team MVP for the Indiana Vipers goes to Tommy Carr.  He won his 5th FL batting title hitting .344 on the season.  He hit .394 from August 1st to the end of the season.

Carr continues to be an integral part of the lineup for the Vipers, and should be for years to come as he turns 30 next July.

2027 Team MVP of the Vipers is catcher, Duane Kirby.  He led the team in RBI with 93 and finished second in HR with 26.  He also hit a solid .286 and led the team in slugging at .488.

2028 Vipers MVP goes to OF Tim Carson. He led the team in HR's with 34, was 2nd in RBI with 81, and hit .298.

I've missed a couple of these, so I'll catch up.

2029:  Tommy Carr hit .327 with 34 RBI and was one of the lone bright spots for the Vipers.

2030:  26-year-old Chuck Ward experienced a breakout year hitting 43 HR and 122 RBI to go with his modest .264 average while slugging .527  His offense more than made up for his strikeout number of 193.

2031: Continuing to improve in his young career, 1B Ogai Tsuji takes home his first Vipers' MVP award.  He amassed career highs in several categories such as his .276 average, 32 HR, 98 RBI, 32 Doubles, and 709 Plate Appearances while playing all but one game.  At age 22, Tsuji looks to win more of these awards in the future.
