Hitting

Bio
Kogar Facedragger was the first pick of the 2003 Lonely Mountain Losers and quickly became the heart and soul of the team, receiving the nickname "Cap" from his teammates. He hit .288 that year, slugging 46 HR and driving in 123 runs, while being named to the Shire All-Star team. His next season, though, became his career year. In 2004, he hit .358 with 57 HR and 149 RBI. He became the first player to have 200 hits in a season, including a 20-game hitting streak. He even won his first of 5 Legolas Fielder awards in right field. His performance earned him the 2004 Sam Gamgee Batter and Aragorn MVP awards. Inexplicably, he was traded by the now Bucklebury Fairies to Mirkwood, then to Bywater after the 2005 season, and his production dropped dramatically. He never had another year like 2004, but he kept on playing solid outfield and piling up career numbers, finishing with 226 HR and 765 RBI.
