Hugill Heads LUA Best Player List
Friday, June 14th , 1918
The future looks extremely bright for Anderson Hugill. At the age of 22, many players are still trying to find their way in US Collegiate Baseball Association.
Hugill has not only found his way, he's already established himself as one of the game's brightest stars, today being named the winner of the Laurel-Union Association Most Valuable Player Award.
"I didn't expect to hit .341 this year, that's for sure," the first baseman said.
The Elmhurst Elms star also put up a .449 on-base percentage this year, with 72 hits, 16 doubles, 5 triples, 2 home runs, 36 RBIs and 28 runs scored.
He received 9 first place votes out of a possible 16. Dominic Coles of the Norwich Cadets finished second in voting with 6 first place votes, while Laurence Bell of the Elmhurst Elms finished third.
