Great Year Gets Cabrera WAC Most Valuable Player Award Friday, September 24th , 2021 At the age of 24, Ruben Cabrera of the Tulsa Twisters could very well have his best years ahead of him. It's a startling thought when you consider the year he had in 2021 was good enough to win the first baseman the Western Amateur Circuit Most Valuable Player Award. "See the ball, hit the ball," he said. "That's my basic approach." The top hitter put up a .310 batting average this year, as well as a .388 on-base percentage. He played 142 games and racked up 169 hits, 27 doubles, no triples, 41 home runs, 102 RBIs and 97 runs scored. He received 14 first place votes out of a possible 20. Eric Andrade of the Houston Apollos finished second in voting with 6 first place votes, while Gwon-soo Kim of the Arlington Stars finished third.
