Brock Wilken Named APP's Best Player Saturday, October 14th , 2023 The manager of the Pulaski Yankees said he thinks Brock Wilken is only going to get better as he gets older.

His winning campaign featured a .346 batting average and a .420 on-base percentage this year. In 65 games he piled up 84 hits, 17 doubles, 1 triple, 18 home runs, 49 RBIs and 44 runs scored. He received 5 first place votes out of a possible 10. Garret Forrester of the Johnson City Cardinals finished second in voting with 1 first place vote, while David Horn of the Burlington Royals finished third with 4 first place votes.
