Revs 1B Andres Perez Named to Atlantic League All-Defense Team

October 14, 2015 - Atlantic League (AtL)
York Revolution News Release


(York, Pa.): This year marks the first time the Atlantic League has named an all-defense team, and the 2015 season accolades continue to pile up for Andres Perez, who has been named the team's first baseman.

Officially, the team is the "2015 Red, White and Blue All-Defense Team," a nod to the vintage-inspired red and blue-stitched baseball introduced by Rawlings and the Atlantic League at this season's All-Star Game in Bridgeport. The ball, a homage to the red and blue-stitched ball used in the American League in the 1920s and 30s, was used for the remainder of the season and will be the official Atlantic League ball moving forward.

Included in the All-Defense team is the "Rawlings Gold Glove Defensive Player of the Year Award" in the Atlantic League. The inaugural winner is Long Island Ducks shortstop Dan Lyons.

Perez being named to the team is all the more impressive, considering he spent 2015 still transitioning to a new position, after earning All-ALPB honors at second base with the Revolution in 2012 and 2013. Perez boasted a .990 fielding percentage this season, committing just eight errors in 135 games played. He played in all but four games in 2015, started the first 51 games of the season, and played in the first 64 before being given a true day off.

The full team listing is below, which includes the winner of Grounds Crew of the Year:

Catcher: Juan Apodaca, Lancaster

First Base: Andres Perez, York

Second Base: Nate Spears, Somerset

Third Base: Patrick Palmeiro, Sugar Land
