BIDDEFORD — After showcasing an impressive season, dominating both in the batters box and on the pitchers mound, graduated senior Brady Crepeau has been named the Journal Tribune’s Most Valuable Player for the 2017 baseball season.

Finishing off the season, Crepeau held a .327 batting average with 16 hits, 13 runs scored, six RBIs and five doubles. On the mound he was even more solid, holding an ERA of 1.22 and notching 39 strikeouts and 11 walks on the season. Crepeau finished with a record of 3-3, a figure that could have been better, said head coach Keith LeBlanc, had the Tigers offense performed stronger in games Crepeau pitched in.

LeBlanc said what truly made Crepeau great was his ability to play all over the field.

“He did a little bit of everything,” said LeBlanc. “He made the varsity team as a freshman and was a first-team outfielder and second-team pitcher that year,” LeBlanc said. “Then his sophomore and junior year he battled some injuries, but he was an all defensive-team first baseman for the league his junior year. This year he was a first-team pitcher all star.”

When Crepeau wasn’t excelling on the diamond, he was excelling in the classroom, added LeBlanc.

“He was our captain and he’s a very bright kid; really smart, but also very baseball smart. You can just tell he loves the game and understands. He’s just a really, really good player,” Leblanc said.

Crepeau graduated this June in the top-10 in his class and will be attending North Carolina State to study engineering next semester.
