Nett hit .352 this summer while posting the best on-base percentage in the Great Plains Division at .495. Nett was named the Rox Most Valuable Player for the 2022 season.
The Rox awarded two co-pitchers of the year in 2022, starter Hunter Day and closer Chase Grillo were both honored. Day broke the Rox single-season record for wins with an 8-0 record during the regular season. Grillo was the best closer in the Northwoods League, recording 13 saves this summer, which was also a team record.
Finally, Charlie Condon (Georgia) shattered the record for RBI’s in a single season, driving in 71 RBI’s in total this summer. Condon became the first Rox player with more than 70 RBI’s in team history.
