KC Royal Phenom Won This Poll Last Year
DANNY DUFFY of the Kansas City Royals pro baseball organization has been nominated as Lompoc Locker Room's Athlete of the Year in 2008. This is the same category he won in a year earlier.
Duffy posted a sparkling 8-4 record, a 2.20 ERA and whopping strikeout total of 102 in 2008 at Burlington, Iowa of the Midwest League. His showing led the Royals to name him Burlington’s 'Pitcher of the Year.’
In Duffy’s final performance with the Bees he gave up none (zero) earned runs. The performance capped a 10-game streak in which he went 5-1 and posted a tiny earned run average of 1.14.
In September, just 14 months after graduating from Cabrillo, Duffy was invited to Kansas City to sign autographs. Royals brass say they plan to send him to Wilmington of the fast Carolina League in 2009.
Duffy joins Penn State cornerback Lydell Sargeant, LHS wrestler Masson Blow, Nevada running back Vai Taua and University of Mary point guard Geoff West among the nominees for Lompoc Locker Room Male Athlete of the Year 2008. Nominations will be received through Wednesday. E-mail YOUR nominations to pressboxprod@verizon.net. by December 10. Results will be announced by Lompoc Locker Room's Blue Ribbon Panel beginning December 20. Nominees in all four categories (male, female, coach and team) may be seen in the right hand column below our sponsors.
