North Division All-Valley League Team

It’s time for the Valley League postseason awards!

The Valley League decided to split the awards this year by North and South Division. Coaches and media members voted on their own divisions only, and coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players. So, for the first time ever, there will be two Most Valuable Players and Pitchers along with a first team All-Division team. Defensive teams will be released later (today?). The league names just one “Mo Weber” Coach of the Year award across both divisions.
