Netherlands federation KNBSB yesterday wrote a letter to Netherlands Olympic Committee reminding their Sports Awards Gala jury of the recent performances by three baseball players in three professional top leagues around the Pacific Ocean: Rick van den Hurk in Japan, Roger Bernadina in South Korea and Kenley Jansen in California, USA. In december NOC*NSF will host their 2017 Sports Gala and their jury has to nominate candidates for the new awards to the nation’s best sport man, best sport woman and best sport team of the year.

Consequently KNBSB wanted to draw Olympic attention for MLB finalist Jansen as best relief pitcher, Bernadina as first time KBO champion in South Korea and Van den Hurk as second time NPO champion in Japan.

Their key roles with Los Angeles Dodgers, KIA Tigers and Softbank Hawks deserve serious consideration for the upcoming nominations for the prestigious awards gala, to be televised live by national broadcaster NOS in the Netherlands.
