The Newark Eagles relief ace was better than all others in the Semi-Pro Baseball Circuit this year and has won the Reliever of the Year Award for 2013.

For the year, Arthur had a 2.23 ERA, with 68.2 innings pitched. He made 39 relief appearances and had 20 saves, 67 strikeouts, 29 walks and a record of 3 wins and 5 losses.
