To recognize the top individual performances of the Summer 2018 regular season, the Maui Adult Baseball League invites players and fans who have followed the league this season to weigh in on their choices for several awards which are described below.
- The Most Valuable Player award recognizes the player who has been the most outstanding in the league. Batting, pitching (if applicable), and defense may be considered when choosing this award.
- The Cy Young award recognizes the league’s top pitcher.
- The Rookie of the Year award goes to the new player who’s overall performance was most impressive. Players nominated did not meet eligibility requirements for any previous season.
- The Manager of the Year recognizes the most impressive managerial performance of the season.
- The Batting Champion is awarded based on the top batting average in the league upon players with enough plate appearance to qualify.
- The Gold Glove award recognizes the league’s top defender at any position.
- The Most Improved award goes to the player who’s performance this season most exceeded previous production. This award is meant to acknowledge hard work coming to fruition.
- The Kenneth Talbot award honors the memory of one of the league’s past players, recognizing the player who best exemplifies the qualities of sportsmanship, community involvement, and positive contributions towards others, on and off the field.
Candidates that appear on the ballot have been selected based upon their statistical merits and nominations from MABL coaches and scorekeepers.

The Brewers are a class team at many levels!
Good luck Joe
This is awesome but I should be able to vote on the ones I can see by stats and continue. I had to vote for ROY, Gold glove, and most improved. I can not attest to any of those so please don’t take my votes on those. The Kenny Talbot award, that was a hard one! Having several in the house hold it’s an easy choice, kinda! Good luck in the playoffs. Go Bags!!!!
Good luck Brenden!
