Usami Gets Award for Relief Work Wednesday, November 19th , 2053 At the age of 22, Kenichi Usami says he still has a lot to learn about life in New York-Penn League. But he certainly seems to be a quick study, as the Brooklyn Cyclones reliever was better than all others this year and has captured the 2053 National League Reliever of the Year. "I hope to win this a few more times before all is said and done in my career," the Tokyo, Japan native said. For the season, Usami had 4 saves in 46 relief appearances, which totaled 94. He fanned 69 betters, while walking 27 and put up a record of 10-3 to go with his 2.68 ERA. He received 30 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Jayden Cody of the Milwaukee (NYP) Brewers finished second in voting, while Kyle Rindels of the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes finished third.
