Best Season In W-AA Belongs To Gavin Wednesday, October 16th , 2024 He may have less experience than most of his ABA Double A peers, but that didn't slow Ken Gavin down at all in 2024.

In 133 games he piled up 166 hits, 33 doubles, 4 triples, 32 home runs, 98 RBIs and 93 runs scored. "I'm blown away by the season I was able to put together," he said. "I'm looking forward to trying to do it all again next year." He received 24 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Fabian Hartnett of the Augusta Capitols finished second in voting, while Micah Clark of the Cincinnati Bombardiers finished third.
