Led by manager Scott Pickler, longtime Cypress College coach who had joined the Red Sox in 1998, Y-D finished in first place atop the East Division five times and took three CCBL championship crowns in a span of four years in the 2000s. Red Sox Slugger Jason Cooper was the league's home run derby champ in consecutive seasons in 2000 and 2001. University of Michigan righty Jim Brauer was an all-star for Y-D in 2001 with a 1.84 ERA, then returned in 2002 and tossed a nine-inning complete game no-hitter against Chatham. The Red Sox boasted the league's Outstanding Pro Prospect in 2002, as Wes Whisler, who set a league record with base hits in nine consecutive at bats, took the honors.
