The Comeback Player of the Year for 2022 is Daniel O’Byrne from the New York City Thunderdogs!
O’Byrne experienced a rocky start to his WRWBL career in 2021, as the slugging outfielder managed to only collect 6 hits in 40 at bats, while posting a .150 batting average with 5 RBI’s.
However, O’Byrne came back in 2022 with a vengeance! Leading the charge offensively for the T-Dogs, O’Byrne posted career highs in batting average (.329), hits (23), and RBI (14). O’Byrne also posted a 2 home run game on July 17th against the New York Bears, becoming 1 of only 5 players this year with a multi-home run game.
For his tremendous efforts at the plate this year, O’Byrne was named to the All-Star team as a designated hitter!
Congratulations Daniel!
