an almost announcement

There's no official release, but if you happen to accidentally click on a link to the CCBL Awards, it does include a Pitcher of the Year. It's Bourne's Nick McCully of Coastal Carolina.

Much like last year with Tom Milone, McCully had the edge because of his record, a perfect 5-0 mark. In a year where some of the more dominant pitchers didn't win much, McCully stood apart. Only Nick Hernandez and Caleb Cotham were in the same category in terms of number of wins, and both of them had more losses than McCully.

These are McCully's final numbers: 5-0, 1.98 ERA, 50 IP, 44 K, 14 BB, .88 WHIP, 1 CG, 1 SHO

Pretty impressive stuff. It's the second straight summer that McCully has had a lot of success in New England. Playing in the NECBL last summer, McCully had a 4-1 record with a 2.15 ERA and a no-hitter to his name.

In other news, the Cape League also announced its all-league teams.

Here's what it looks like:

1B - Ben Paulsen
2B - Jimmy Cesario
SS - Grant Green
3B - Chris Dominguez
Inf. Util. - Raynor Campbell
OF - A.J. Pollock
OF - Marc Krauss
OF - Trent Ashcraft
OF - Jordan Henry
C - Tommy Medica
C - Tony Sanchez
Util. - Joseph Sanders
DH - Kevin Patterson
DH - Brent Milleville

SP - Nick McCully
SP - Nick Hernandez
SP - Matt Thomson
SP - Andrew Carraway
SP - Bryce Stowell
SP - Chris Manno
RP - Russell Brewer
RP - Ben Tootle

Just as it was with the all-star selections, I don't see too many huge snubs. I'm a little surprised Brandon Workman wasn't on there but his ERA did balloon a little bit at the end of the year, and it's tough to push any of the aforementioned guys out of a spot. A few other notable guys who didn't make it: Ryan Wheeler, Cory Olson, Ryan Jones, Angelo Songco and Ryan Pineda.

Update: I forgot the DH's, but they're in there now.
