Morales Selected RL's #1 Rookie
Wednesday, October 1st, 2098: What a fantastic September it was for
Javier Morales! The
Portland catcher battered Republic League hurlers for a .326 batting average as he easily claimed the Rookie of the Month Award.
He tallied 4 home runs, 13 RBIs and 11 runs scored in the month-long assault. Morales also had 12 walks for a .415 on-base percentage.
If he continues to outpace the rookie class like this, he could very well be the 2098 Kien-lung Teng Award winner.

Axemen this year, 19 of them home runs. He has also netted 60 RBIs and scored 69 runs while batting .264.
