Monday, September 27th , 2049
At the age of 23, Ahti Riikonen of the Huntington Hermit Crabs could very well have his best years ahead of him.
It's a startling thought when you consider the year he had in 2049 was good enough to win the first baseman the USSL Single A Outstanding Hitter Award.
"See the ball, hit the ball," he said. "That's my basic approach."
The top hitter put up a .291 batting average this year, as well as a .411 on-base percentage. He played 96 games and racked up 99 hits, 14 doubles, 1 triple, 26 home runs, 70 RBIs and 62 runs scored.
He received 10 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Shan Gui of the Huntington Hermit Crabs finished second in voting, while Orlando Figoroa of the South Beach Blaze finished third.
