Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - On November 21st, 2016, Baseball Ontario handed out their annual awards at their AGM Dinner. As in previous years, the YSBA had nominees in all categories.
 
Our first winner was Natalie Shears from Markham who took home the award for Level 1-2 Umpire.
Not to be outdone, our second winner was Taylor McKnight, from Barrie, who went home with the award for Level 3-4 umpire.
Brady Wagenhofer of Newmarket took home the prize for Junior Pitcher of the year.
while Jake Brennan of Barrie won the award for Adult player of the year.
The biggest honour of the evening went to Sean O'Brien of Newmarket. Sean was awarded the Presdent's award by OBA President David Huctwith, for his long standing commitment to baseball as a player, coach and mentor.
