  • 09-23-2009 Suzuki Wins Catfish Award
    OAKLAND ATHLETICS Media Release Oakland Athletics Baseball Company h 7000 Coliseum Way h Oakland, CA 94621 510-638-4900 h Public Relations Facsimile 510-562-1633 h www.oaklandathletics.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 23, 2009 Kurt Suzuki Recipient of Jim “Catfish” Hunter Award Award is Given Annually to A’s Player in Memory of Hall of Fame Pitcher OAKLAND, Calif. – Catcher Kurt Suzuki has been named the recipient of the 2009 Jim “Catfish” Hunter Award, which honors an A’s player whose play on the field and conduct in the clubhouse best exemplifies the courageous, competitive and inspirational spirit demonstrated by the late Hall of Fame pitcher. The award is voted upon by Oakland A’s players and coaches. Suzuki, completing his second full season with Oakland, is batting .270 with 14 home runs and leads the team in doubles (35) and runs batted in (81) this year. Regarded as one of the American League’s top backstops, the 25- year-old Cal State Fullerton product leads all AL catchers in games played (127) and games started (124), innings caught (1107.1), putouts (864) and total chances (931), ranks second in assists (62) and fourth in fielding percentage (.995). If he continues on his current pace, he will become the first catcher in Oakland A’s history to lead his team in RBI and only the second catcher to accomplish that feat in franchise history (Frankie Hayes drove in a team-best 78 runs for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1944). Beyond his productivity at the plate, the 5-11, 200-pound Suzuki has also gained a defensive reputation as one of the game’s most sure-handed receivers and adept handler of pitchers.
