2009 ALCS MVP: Omaha v. Kansas City

The 2009 Stroh's ALCS MVP Award goes to....

SP DANIEL BALLEW, OMA. Round of Applause.

Omaha is renown for having multiple players step up when needed and being all around dangerous up and down the lineup. The series versus KC exemplified that when 4 separate Wolverines won Player of the Game in the 4 Omaha wins. Yet there was a model of consistency in the series that contributed heavily to 2 of the 4 wins and that was Mr. Daniel Ballew who earned 2 Wins. In Game 2 with Omaha up 1-0 in the series, Ballew pitched 7.0 IP, 1 ER and 8 Ks to lead the Wolverines to victory. He followed that performance up in the clinching Game 6 by going 7.0 IP, 2 ER, and 4 Ks. Ballew accounted for 2 W's and 14 solid IP in the series and for that we're sending him a brand new Stroh's golf visor along with his award.
