Laguna Vaqueros second baseman Dionys Cesar capped off a great summer by being named the Mexican League’s Most Valuable Player for 2009. The award was voted upon by baseball writers in Mexico.
Cesar led the Liga in four offensive categories, including a .380 batting average, 156 hits, 36 doubles and 40 stolen bases. He also scored 92 runs, third in the circuit, and had the season’s longest hitting streak by batting safely in 32 consecutive games between April 5 and May 19.
The 32-year-old Dominican finished the regular season by grabbing the lead in the batting race in the final week of the campaign, hitting .385 for the Vaqueros. He was a key component in Laguna’s first playoff appearance in five seasons as the Cowboys advanced to the Northern Zone finals by surprising the Mexico City Diablos in the first round.
Cesar debuted in the LMB with Veracruz in 2003, and has hit .300 or better five of his six full seasons in the summer circuit.
