The 2020 HDL Player Awards Announcement

.

In November it was announced that due to the on-going COVID situation, the HDL would not be hosting a Banquet in 2020.

However, we invited all HDL players to submit their personal choices for Gold Glove and other Awards through a formatted email process.

At the end of the season, we promised all award winners would be announced. However, the actual trophies and awards will be handed out on the date of the 2021 season opener (TBA). The exact date of the Awards presentation will be posted on the HDL Blog.

We wish to thank everyone who participated in the voting process. From the attached list of winners, it is obvious that HDL players have made some outstanding choices.

2021-2022 League President will be Jake Hatchett

Jake Hatchett was the unanimous choice for HDL President for the next 2 years. Jake began his HDL career in 2014 and has proven his dedication to the principles and baseball history that makes the HDL a unique opportunity for adult baseball players to play competitive baseball.

Jake will be recruiting a staff of supportive officers to help the HDL to continue to be successful in 2021. Jake would love to be contacted by any interested member who has a minimum of 3 years experience with HDL to discuss how they can be a contributor to the league operations staff.

Jake may be contacted at (870)514-3212.
