Announcement
"TJ" Fox Is The RGMVM Power Hurler Of The Year In The Major Division. TJ has played for RGMVM since 1997, when he won the MVP in the Instructional All-star game. TJ was on the mound in 1998 and struck out the final batter to win the 1998 Rookie World Series. This year, his last year in the Major Division, TJ dominated on the pitchers mound, pitching 36 innings, allowing only 15 hits and 7 runs, while striking out an amazing 82 batters!! His strong pitching continued in the 2003 all-star game, where he worked 2 scoreless innings and struck out 6, earning the MVP award for a second time (his younger brother Matthew was awarded the MVP for the 2003 Rookie game, the first time brothers have won the award on the same day). TJ pitched on the RGMVM Little League Tournament teams in 2001 & 2003. In 2001, he allowed only 3 run's in 7 innings pitched; in 2003, although he pitched 4 shutout innings and got the win against Briarwood, his personal highlight came when he pitched 6 innings, allowing 2 runs and striking out 12 against Ozone Howard, in a game the team eventually lost in extra innings. TJ's dominance on the mound continued during the Diamond Pro's Fall League, where he competed against the premier players from other areas. Representing RGMVM, TJ's playoff performance against Bronxchester and Williston Park was excellent. He pitched 20 innings, allowing 7 hits, 2 runs, and striking out 41!! Although RGMVM came up one game short of the championship, TJ's performance against previously undefeated (36-0) Williston Park earned him rave reviews. He pitched 6 innings, striking out 15, allowing 1 unearned run, and handed Williston their only loss in two years. TJ never lets his pitching talent go to his head. He is always there for his teammates and never puts himself above the team. He is truly a great competitor and always shows good sportsmanship. Enough Said! That is why TJ FOX is 2003 Power Pitcher of the Year in the Major Division…………….
