All Star – 2 (2015, 2017), Experience – 2 (2015, 2017). Jon seems to only care about the league during odd years.

Jack Hillegonds
2016: #18 (38.16)
2015: #11 (38.20)

He looks poised to take 2018 on head first and solidify himself as a top tier player in Leroy. He was a part of the Nationals team this year that went to Morenci and was part of the infamous Room 2.
Jake Olthoff

Drew Eenigenburg
2016: #16 (39.35)
2015: #10 (39.84)
2014: #1 (53.19)

Experience – 1 (2014), All Star – 1 (2014). It is a shame many new players will never know Drew and what he meant to the league in the start. He put together a team that took the league by surprise and laid the blueprints on how to win in Leroy right off the bat. A hand injury in 2015 derailed his career and unfortunately we didn’t see him in 2017.
