FOUR-TIME SLUGGER OF THE YEAR:

Carson Reese Rochester (2053, 2055) Hawaii (2057) Calgary (2063)

It's been a monster historic year of triumph for veteran Carson Reese of the Calgary Clippers as he hit his way to the 2063 Union League Daryl Ryles Slugger Of The Year MVP Award.

The 35-year-old veteran compiled a .407 average and .467 on-base percentage by putting together 239 hits, 33 doubles, no triples, 52 home runs and 69 walks. He also scored 116 times and drove in 170 runs.

The four-time MVP became the first player in SIMBL history to win the award with three different teams: Rochester, Hawaii and Calgary.  He joins only three others: Daryl Ryles (8), Tony Aguilar (5) and Colt McAlister (5) as the only players to win four or more MVP awards in league history.

The 11-time All-Star, 8-time Silver Slugger and 11-time Gold Glover made history by posting the first .400 batting average season in league history and drove in 170 runs which is the most in SIMBL New File Era (2019-current) history and the second-most next to SIMBL First File Era 8-time MVP and SIMBL Hall Of Famer Daryl Ryles who drove in 172 runs in his historic 2008 Triple Crown season.

Reese became only the fourth batter in league history to win a Triple Crown and the first since the 2031 season some 32 seasons ago.
