Cooperstown’s Ubner wins multiple player of the year awards

STAFF REPORT • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com

Cooperstown’s Chris Ubner swept a series of baseball award announced last week.

Ubner shared the Most Valuable Player Award from the Center State Conference Division II, with teammate Kendall Haney.

Ubner also won Player of the Year Awards from two Upstate newspapers, the Utica Observer-Dispatch and the Syracuse Herald.

Haney was named to the Syracuse All-Star team as well.

Ubner’s Utica announcement carried the biggest surprise as the Mohawk Valley Award was announced by Atlanta Braves Hall of Famer Chipper Jones, in a video presentation.

Both players played multiple positions for Cooperstown, including pitcher and around the infield, leading the Hawkeyes to two section titles and a spot in the 2019 Class C championship game. Both will play college baseball, Ubner at St. Thomas Aquinas College in Sparkill and Haney at Herkimer County Community College.
