Bruntlett Named Top Reliever for ESPC Saturday, October 31st , 2026 Josh Bruntlett said his performance in 2026 was a "statement" to the entire league. "As an impending free agent you feel like you've got something to prove, something to work for to ensure that next contract," said the Albany Senators pitcher, who is seemingly heading for free agency. The bullpen ace certainly proved himself this year, and he has won the Eastern Semi-Pro Circuit Reliever of the Year Award. The Castlewood, Colorado native had a 2.78 ERA this season over 132.2 innings of work. He made 72 relief appearances and had 24 saves, 110 strikeouts, 36 walks and a record of 13-4. Opponent batters hit only .272 against him. He received 14 first place votes out of a possible 20. Bob James of the Ottawa Capitals finished second in voting with 6 first place votes, while Chris Iverson of the D.C. Potomacs finished third.
