The Thunder, Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, announced today that starting pitcher Ronald Herrera has been named the winner of the Smith's ACE Hardware Pitcher of the Year award, outfielder Dustin Fowler is the recipient of the 2016 OxiClean "Dirtiest Uniform of the Season" award, and pitcher Cale Coshow is the recipient of the 2016 Samuel J. Plumeri, Sr. Community Service award. The awards were presented on Monday afternoon at ARM & HAMMER Park prior to the regular season finale against the Reading Fightin Phils.

The Smith's Ace Hardware Pitcher of the Year award was voted on by fans during the final month of the season. This year's winner, Ronald Herrera, went 10-7 with a 3.75 ERA in 23 starts for the Thunder. On April 26, Herrera threw eight no-hit innings as part of the second nine inning no-hitter in franchise history and was later named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for his performance. Herrera follows in the footsteps of pitchers Caleb Smith (2015), Jaron Long (2014), Nik Turley (2013), Brett Marshall (2012), and Shaeffer Hall (2011) as recipients of the award.
