PA Hands Out Reliever of the Year Award Friday, September 20th , 2047 Roberto Esparza was a calming influence out of the Walla Walla Walleye bullpen this season.

His poise has paid off, as the 23-year-old turned in a sparkling season and has been named the winner of the USPL Single A Reliever of the Year Award for 2047. The Panama, Panama native won the award with 6 saves in 36 relief appearances, 119 strikeouts in 65 innings and a record of 6-2 to go with his 1.66 ERA.
