John H. Johnson President's Trophy: Fort Wayne TinCaps
Rawlings Woman Executive of the Year: Stefanie Brown, Quad Cities River Bandits
Midwest League Executive of the Year: Mike Nutter, Fort Wayne TinCaps

Surprise! The TinCaps have a release.

Following a season in which the Fort Wayne TinCaps’ players won a variety of awards, the team’s front office collected its share of the hardware Thursday. The TinCaps won the Midwest League President’s Trophy and team president Mike Nutter was named the Midwest League Executive of the Year.

The John H. Johnson President’s Trophy is awarded to the club which best exemplifies the standards of the complete baseball franchise, such as financial success of operation, contributions to baseball in the community and baseball industry, and long-term franchise stability.

“We’ve come a long way over the last year,” Nutter said. “Moving into a first-class ballpark gave us the chance to entertain our fans in new and exciting ways. On the field, the team exceeded all expectations and won our first championship. I thank our fans, who are the best in the country. I also thank our front-office team which made things run smoothly and put on a fantastic show every night at Parkview Field.”
