Premier Player Named by Buck O'Neil League Tuesday, October 31st, 2023 At the age of 22, Vij Vedavyasa of the New Orleans Jedi Knights could very well have his best years ahead of him. It's a startling thought when you consider the year he had in 2023 was good enough to win the left fielder the Buck O'Neil League Silver Slugger Award. "See the ball, hit the ball," he said. "That's my basic approach." The top hitter put up a .320 batting average this year, as well as a .417 on-base percentage. He played 153 games and racked up 192 hits, 35 doubles, 3 triples, 44 home runs, 161 RBIs and 129 runs scored. Chandler Eckard of the New Orleans Jedi Knights finished second in voting, while Juan Garza of the Coney Island Cyclones finished third. |
