Best SR Reliever Named Saturday, September 23rd , 2045 Pedro Cruz was a calming influence out of the Memphis Music bullpen this season. His teammates and manager said he had a poised demeanor about him that was typical of someone much older and more experienced. His poise has paid off, as the 20-year-old turned in a sparkling season and has been named the winner of the USSL Rookie Reliever of the Year Award for 2045. The Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic native won the award with 7 saves in 25 relief appearances, 56 strikeouts in 43.2 innings and a record of 3-2 to go with his 0.62 ERA. He received 8 first place votes out of a possible 10. Alberto Ramos of the Beaumont Crossbeaus finished second in voting with 2 first place votes, while Rob Green of the Maine Sea Dogs finished third.
