Is there a bigger crock of _____ in the SBC this year than RJ Hunter winning athlete of the year. I think he is a phenomenal player. But the award should have gone to EP or Jace Conrad, bottom line.
Getting drafted high is a combination of career achievement and pro potential. Would you give player of the year to a high draft pick over a freshman who hit .750 with 30hr 80rbi no errors and played on the national championship team? Jace was first team all American. EP was not. Jace led his team deep into the postseason. EP did not. Jace led his team to a unanimous #1 ranking. EP did not. I am not taking anything away from EP. He is a phenomenal player and may end up being the most successful pro to ever come out of UL but for player of the YEAR consideration, jace wins. No contest.
i didnt realize jace was a freshman who hit .750. (you cant make up outlandish stats to prove a point)
it can also be said that jace had a lot better supporting cast all around him than EP. i would have been okay with either of them getting it, but to say that its no contest is ridiculous.
In my opinion EP was the most "valuable" and important player for his team. Jace was outstanding but you can make an argument for others on the baseball team as well. He was playing with some outstanding baseball players.
If I had to pick a player of the year or MVP for Sunbelt my vote would go to EP.
