22-year-old Gundahar Headstrong sent shock waves through Tolkien Baseball last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the Mordor Conference Player of the Week Award.
A newcomer to the league, Headstrong made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .545 average, 12 hits in 22 at-bats, 1 home run and 7 RBI.
Where the Minas Morgul Slayers left fielder goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Headstrong certainly made his mark last week.
So far this year, Headstrong is batting .390 with 3 home runs.
