The Magic have continued to dominate this season leading the world in +/- (236), average (.344), and OBP (.373). His offense has really poured it on opponents as of late, with huge wins against Hilo Soaring (10-2), Florida Fortunes (7-3), Green Bay Sages (9-1), and Game Shakers (10-4).

One of the hottest teams right now is the Ocala Coalition, who’s been dominant since the halfway mark. After losing games 30 and 32, his team got hot, winning their last 13 games including three by double digits against the Boston Hammers (16-2), Albuquerque Mavutos (11-1), and the Birmingham Crimson Tide (11-3). Leading the way for the Ocala is their leadoff and 2-hole hitters in RF Nevada Gaona and 2B Kayden Lawton who’ve combined for 85 RBIs, 31 dingers, and 43 stolen bases.
Sitting near the middle are legends Bombers and Reds whose resurgence strikes fear into the world's contenders. They have a fierce fight for the Alta Canyon North title with Bombers leading by one game at the moment. Both teams sit with similar results headed into the final 15 games only losing two of their last 15 games with Bombers holding the +/- lead by four runs.

A big surprise this season has been the Athens Bobcats. The Bobcats are in search of their first league title in team history. Since the halfway mark, the team has gone 12-3 with wins over Florida Fortunes (8-3), Washington Humming Birds (3-1), Las Vegas Rough Riders (4-3), Los Tuneros (10-4), and St. Johns Peace Sharks (4-3). The team is led by star catcher Bryant Mann and midseason acquisition LF Milo Rhodes.

The slugging catcher has 19 home runs, 53 RBIs, and a .723 slugging percentage to go with it. As for Rhodes, he came in a 3-3 trade with the Edmonton Nightcrawlers, where he dominated the middle of the lineup leading the team with a .369 average while crushing 12 dingers, 36 RBIs, and .718 SLG.

Headed near the bottom we meet the dominant Rockford Raccoons. Their explosive offense is sure to make any pitcher they face crashout. They have struggled as of late, but have taken off when their offense plays together with eight wins of double digits or more. Their rotation wouldn’t back down either led by veteran Jadyn Acuna and Travis Rivas who combined for 155 innings, 146 strikeouts, 11-7 record, and 2.56 ERA.


Finally, we have the Yokohama Wyverns. The Wyverns rotation has been dominant this season as in the last 30 games the team has given up only 86 runs with an average of 2.87 a game with five shutouts. Leading the charge are veterans Brandon Craddock and Dwayne Sousa.

Sousa has kept hitters clueless at the plate with a 0.825 WHIP, .195 BAA, and 2.36 ERA. He’s also limited his walks sitting at a 63-8 K/BB ratio (7.875). Craddock falls not too far behind at a 2.89 ERA but with an incredible 12 K/BB, a 2.89 ERA, and 0.910 WHIP.


Good luck to all teams in the hunt coming down to the homestretch! The postseason begins on the 20th.
