Every team has had those players who join them and immediately takes the team to the next level. Alfonso “Zo” Trujillo is that type of player and he did that for the Alliance in 2007. Zo is not only having a great year for the Alliance, he is having his best overall offensive year ever with the team. Zo’s offense and lock down defense at shortstop has led the Alliance to one of their best seasons in their 10 year history. Zo is known as one of the classiest and elite players on the West Coast and also one of the most humble players in the game. Zo is the epitome of an all around player as he excels with his glove, his legs and his bat. Zo is hitting .750 on the season and he has played great defense at shortstop since moving there at the beginning of the year. In addition to being among the team leaders in average, Zo is also one of the Alliance leaders in home runs this year. Every fielder who has played against Zo has quickly realized that the slightest bobble or hesitation will mean Zo will be standing on the next base.
Zo is the epitome of sportsman and teammate and for his performance on the field and his grace off the field, PoliceSoftball.com is proud to name Alfonso “Zo” Trujillo as the West Coast Player of the Year.
