While it’s true there is not as much competition for this award than during the heart of the BIIF and UH-Hilo seasons, it should be noted that Shiraki probably would have been honored in this space had it existed back when he was a standout for the Honokaa Dragons’ baseball and soccer teams.

Shiraki pitched in three of four games in Mesa, Ariz., as the Bears finished 2-2.
