2011 ALCS MVP: Kansas City v. Las Vegas
The 2011 Stroh's ALCS MVP Award goes to....
SP JAKE HATFIELD, KC. Round of Applause!
Hatfield set the tone for the series right off the bat in Game 1. Hatfield was able to go out and throw 8.0 innings of 1 ER ball, getting the W as KC won 6-1. That was no surprise as Hatfield is a well respected Ace in the league. He's a 3 time All Star and winner of the 2009 Stroh's ALDS MVP when KC defeated the Washington Admirals. In 10 postseason starts Jake Hatfield has a 2.58 ERA and is making a name for himself as a clutch go to pitcher. League MVP Kenny Etchells continued to tear up the Renegades through the next games as KC increased its series lead to 3-1 when Hatfield took the mound again. In the clinching Game 5, Hatfield held LV to 3 hits and 1 R in 7.0 IP. He earned the W and his 2nd Player of the Game in the series. Tip this long neck of Stroh's back tonight Jake and contemplate the long road ahead of you as you travel to the tropics of Miami.
