The Field Master Awards are presented to the four best defensive players throughout the wiffle season. This year, Nate of Eastbound & Dahn, Blose of Cookies & Cream, and Bob and Mike of Questionable Outfit were selected as the most outstanding defensive players during the 2016 regular season.
Nate led the league in putouts for the first time in his career and had a stellar season in left field as the best player on a weak Eastbound & Dahn defense. This is Nate’s first time receiving the award.
Blose continued his legacy of strong defense, moving to left field this year following the departure of Vassallo from the Cookies & Cream lineup. Blose has now earned this honor four times in his career, and is the most decorated defensive player in league history.
Mike was selected for the second consecutive year and third time in his career after another stellar year in left field for Questionable Outfit. Mike is known as one of the best defensive players in EWL history, and he continued to flash great catches and not led balls get past him in 2016.
Bob was named a Field Master for the second time in his career and the first time since 2013 after a strong campaign in center field and on the mound for Questionable Outfit. His reliable fielding helped propel Questionable Outfit to the #1 seed in the playoffs.
Past winners of the award include Morrison (four time winner for multiple teams), Hartley (two time winner for Eastbound & Dahn), Steve (two time winner for the Ham Slams), Vassallo (two time winner for the Fish Sticks), Luke of Pumice on Slow!, Brad of Downtown Bobby Brown, Tom of Questionable Outfit, and Anthony of the Ham Slams.
