Saturday 28 February looms as a special day on the Australian baseball calendar as our sporting community comes together to recognise and to laud outstanding achievement in the sport – from grassroots level to national, international and professional representation.

In acknowledging all nominated finalists and ultimate winners in various categories, the Diamond Awards will include Australian Baseball League performance recognition for 2014/15, including the time-honoured Helms Award Most Valuable Player.

 

Among many features of the evening will be the induction of Trent Durrington, John Galloway and Grant Balfour into the Baseball Australia Hall of Fame.

 

The Diamond Awards will recognise excellence and selfless contribution to Australian baseball across the following categories:

 

Volunteer of the Year

Club of the Year

Club Coach of the Year

Performance Coach of the Year

Administrator of the Year

Official of the Year

Youth Player of the Year
