Steve Sismelich became the team's first player to become a repeat winner of the Ground Ball Competition. Steve prevailed over Jim Robley in the finals. Both players had won the competition in an earlier practice.
Both players, Steve and Jim, do an exceptional job of consistently getting into a "baseball ready" position just before the ball is hit. They also approach the baseball in an aggressive manner. By not letting the ball play them, they give themselves the best possible chance of making the play.
Jim has played with the Warriors for the past two season. During both of those years, he was one of the leading defensive players on the team. Jim has been a solid shortstop for quite some time. Steve is a first time Warriors and we expect him to have a strong season in 2011.
