Eric Farris Named Atlantic League’s Defensive Player Of The Year

October 18, 2016 Somerset Patriots

Bridgewater, NJ- The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball announced Tuesday that Somerset Patriots second baseman Eric Farris has been named the 2016 Rawlings Gold Glove Defensive Player of the Year.

This is the third honor for Farris on the heels of his impressive 2016 campaign; first-year Patriot was named to both the Atlantic League Post-Season All-Star Team and Red, White & Blue All-Defensive Team late last week. He is the first Somerset Patriot to ever win the award. Last year, Long Island Ducks shortstop Dan Lyons became the league’s first-ever Defensive Player of the Year recipient.
