 | GL Reliever of the Year Award Winner Named Wednesday, November 1st, 2034 Albert McBride said his performance in 2034 was a "statement" to the entire league. "As an impending free agent you feel like you've got something to prove, something to work for to ensure that next contract," said the Houston Bayou Rats pitcher, who is seemingly heading for free agency. The bullpen ace certainly proved himself this year, and he has won the Gehrig League Reliever of the Year Award. The Weirton, West Virginia native had a 1.98 ERA this season over 63.2 innings of work. He made 68 relief appearances and had 19 saves, 68 strikeouts, 22 walks and a record of 2-2. Opponent batters hit only .193 against him. He received 11 first place votes out of a possible 12. Eldon Lewis of the Miami X Giants finished second in voting, while Alfredo Ángel of the Houston Bayou Rats finished third with 1 first place vote.
