Jake Fox - 2013 Atlantic League Player of the Year

Autographed 2013 Somerset Patriots Choice Team Set #10 (MVP Card)

Drafted in the third round by the Chicago Cubs of the 2003 MLB Draft out of Michigan, Jake Fox experienced playing time in the majors in 2007 and 2009 (Cubs), 2010 (Oakland and Baltimore) and in 2011 (Baltimore) hitting a total of 20 home runs and 73 RBI’s with a .425 career slugging percentage.

The corner infielder and catcher would enter the Atlantic League in 2012 batting .388 with Somerset and claim the 2013 Atlantic League Player of the Year Award a year later. That year Fox would hit .310 with 25 home runs and 82 RBI’s despite playing in only 96 games. With 23 doubles as well, Fox’s slugging percentage would reach .572.

With this 2013 MVP season, Fox would draw interest and be signed by the Diamondbacks. In 2014, Fox would be signed with the Phillies and by 2015, after a brief stop with Toronto, Fox would sign a lucrative deal to play the season in Korea.
