\n\tRyan Cleveland Represents Rafters Among League’s Best Fielders<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t <\/p>\n

\n\t\tRochester, Min. – The Northwoods League has announced the recipients of the 2015 Rawlings ‘Finest in the Field’ Award. The annual award recognizes the top fielders at each position. The winners are selected based on final fielding statistics compiled by league statistician Pointstreak.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the second consecutive season, the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters had a player named to the 2015 Rawlings ‘Finest In The Field’ team as Ryan Cleveland finished the season as the top fielding first baseman in the Northwoods League. Cleveland held down the first base position in 56 games during the season, and committed just five errors in 483 total chances, for an impressive .990 fielding percentage. Cleveland joins former Rafters Zack Domingues (2014), Brandon Hohl (2012) and Joshua Cyr (2012) as previous recipients of the award.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRawlings has been rewarding the top defenders in the Northwoods League since 2002. The recipients receive a special Rawlings engraved trophy. Rawlings is the official equipment provider for the Northwoods League. To qualify for an award a player needs to appear in at least two-thirds of the scheduled games at a specific position, with the exception of catcher which is half. For pitchers, the player that had the highest total defensive chances without committing an error earns the number one spot.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe complete list of Rawlings ‘Finest In The Field’ award recipients and their field percentages are below.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
