2 Months Complete, 6 More to Go

​

Culpeper remained on top after another 15-5 month, but County Road pulled even for the overall lead by posting the month’s best record at 17-3. Walthall stayed in third place at 13-7, four games back. P-Town rebounded from last month’s 8-12 mark to go 15-5, climbing from a tie for 16th to fourth, seven games off the lead. With 75% of the season still remaining, there is plenty of time for teams to make a move. Providence also surged, going 14-6 and rising from 19th into a tie for sixth. Reno had the weakest month at 6-14 and fell into a five-way tie for last at 15-25.

Walthall continues to contend near the top on the strength of its power hitting, leading the league with 98 home runs. County Road and P-Town are next with 67 each. Walthall’s total is driven by Yelich (16), Judge (15), Montgomery (15), and Ohtani (13), all of whom rank in the top 10. Walthall also leads the league in RBI, runs, and slugging percentage. Culpeper, meanwhile, has set the standard in pitching, leading in wins, shutouts, complete games, and innings pitched while ranking second in starting ERA. For now, Culpeper’s pitching has it in first place, while Walthall’s power keeps it in third. With many teams excelling in at least one area, it will be interesting to see who separates from the pack.

Hitting and pitching are both still doing well this year with 8 batters having an average above .300  and 14 players on schedule for 48 or more homeruns led Yelich (WW) on pace for 64. Pitching has 7 pitchers under a 2.00 ERA. Will hitting or pitching win out for the year.
