Minor League Baseball announced that fans have selected Kane County Cougar Connor Grey’s perfect game as the Top Performance of the season during the 2017 Minor League Baseball Yearly award online voting process.

The MiLBY’s are awarded annually to the most outstanding players, teams, performances and promotions of the year. The online voting process takes place at MiLB.com, the official website of Minor League Baseball.

Among the other 10 nominees, Grey’s perfect performance received 25 percent of the votes to earn the Fans’ Choice.

On Sept. 1, in his final outing of the 2017 season for the Cougars, Grey tossed the first perfect game in franchise history using exactly 100 pitches, 70 of which were strikes. Grey’s perfect game was also the first by a Midwest League pitcher since 2004 and the first for an Arizona Diamondbacks Minor Leaguer.
