MVP MVP MVP!!! Rauso had a stellar 2017, landing in the top 3 on the team in innings played while manning the most physically demanding position on the diamond. Rauso earned the respect of his teammates through leadership and never missing a game and in return was voted team MVP. Rauso hit .333 with 18 RBI and was constantly coming through in the clutch with big hits. We look for more of the same from Rauso in 2018, but definitely would like to manage his innings behind the plate. Maybe some 1b will be in the future for Rauso?? Probably not. He will most likely catch 200 innings again. Fun Fact: He trained his dog to hold his breath for an underwater basket weaving competition in 2003. RIP Pluto.
