Bratcher earns MVP recognition
Local baseball player Joshua Bratcher was rewarded for his accomplishments this past summer on the diamond at a recent banquet held at the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville.
Bratcher, a standout for last year’s Warren County Middle School squad, was chosen as the most valuable player in his summer league (Greater Nashville Amateur Baseball Association) by the Old Timers Baseball Association.
Bratcher played for the local team, the Middle Tennessee Mudcats, over the summer and helped his team earn a spot in the CABA 14-year-old World Series. He had a batting average of .522 in league play and helped his team to a 12-6 record.
The guest speaker for the banquet was Tim Corbin, head baseball coach at Vanderbilt University. When presenting the award to Bratcher, Corbin stated “this is a great honor and we are pleased to recognize your excellence in baseball performance.”
On hand to honor Bratcher as he received the MVP award were his mother Delois Bratcher, brother Jacob Bratcher, coach Chris Parker, Gary and Doris Stephens, cousins Dylan Stephens and Taylor Mullican, Donna Daniel, Wayne and Judy Williamson, grandparents Dee and Betty Lusk, aunt Eureatha London, Tyler Granstaff, Cody Durham and Tommy Bryant.
