League MVP candidates for the spring season are now posted on the Softball America website. You can click here
League MVP Candidates/Spring 2006
or use the League Statistics drop-down box on the Softball America home page.
To qualify as a candidate for offensive MVP, a minimum of 18 plate appearances (at-bats + walks) is required by core and all-stars --15 for male and female eddies.
Offensive MVP candidates are chosen by statistical formula. The formula takes into account runs scored, runs batted in, total hits, singles, doubles, triples, home runs, bases on balls, and batting average. Offensive MVPs will be awarded in both A and B Divisions.
Defensive MVP candidates are chosen by statistical formula. The formula takes into account put-outs, assists, and errors. Assists are more valuable than put-outs. Errors are not good, especially when one considers how lenient our scorekeepers are. Deductions are made accordingly. Defensive MVP requires no plate-appearance minimum. One defensive MVP will be named for the A and B Divisions combined. A league candidates will get the tie-breaker nod over B league candidates.
Team and league leaders throughout the year are sorted, (for simplicitys sake) by batting average. While your name may be in the upper echelon in league or team leaders throughout a given season that does not necessarily mean you will be nominated as a candidate for MVP. One must look at all relevant categories when measuring their performance against others -- not just batting average.
MVP winners will be posted on the website once the softball year is complete. Certificates for MVP winners will be awarded upon request only.
