Potticary Rewarded with 2022 ADL Most Valuable Player Award Sunday, September 18th , 2022
The manager of the Gawler Bumblebees said he thinks Rhett Potticary is only going to get better as he gets older.
He may only be 23, but it will be hard to top the shortstop's 2022 campaign, as he has been named the winner of the Adelaide Development League Most Valuable Player Award.
His winning campaign featured a .318 batting average and a .409 on-base percentage this year. In 82 games he piled up 88 hits, 15 doubles, 5 triples, 11 home runs, 24 RBIs and 41 runs scored.
He finished the season with 10 victories and only 3 losses, with an impressive 2.18 ERA. The talented Bloods pitcher started 17 games and struck out 114 batters in 115.2 innings and won the Adelaide Development League Pitcher of the Year Award.
"It means a lot," Whitehurst said. "I hadn't really had a chance to sit down and think about it yet. It feels good right now. I can't really put it into words, but I'm sure later on tonight when I have a chance to sit down with my family and think about it, I'll have some words for it. But right now, I'm just happy that it happened this year."
