Taylor of Crystal Lake Earns RU Batting Crown
The 2029 Ruthlandian Union batting title went to Herm Taylor. A key contributor for Crystal Lake this year, he hit .356. His 212 hits included 44 doubles, 12 triples and 8 home runs. The Crushers center fielder also scored 102 runs and knocked in 81 while playing in 133 games. Taylor was one of the prime factors in the Crushers winning the RU South this season and whipping the defending Pro Cup champion Waleska Westerners. Taylor also won the bat title in 2024 with a .355 mark. The 7-year veteran is a lifetime .327 hitter.

Runner-up in the batting race was Waleska's super slugger Loco Dillinger, who almost won the Triple Crown. Dillinger paced the IPA with 41 homers and 141 RBIs, while hitting .344. Belair Beach catcher Deman Kooken came in third with a .339 BA in 122 games.

Guillaume Is TU Swing King
Ronnie Guillaume will look back at the 2029 season and smile proudly. The North Hills Hawks center fielder rapped out 179 hits and put up a .342 average. That was good enough to take this year's batting honors in the Tycobbian Union. The 24-year-old Guillaume ended the regular season with 59 doubles, 5 triples, 8 home runs, while scoring 84 times and driving in 76 runs. He led the IPA in doubles, breaking Bruno DiPirro's mark set in 2002, when he hit 58 for the Sugar Valley Rattlers. Guillaume has played in the IPA for four years and compiled a .297 average.

Number two in the batting race was Ginza's fine center fielder Cotton Cornwall, who batted .337 with 25 home runs and 107 RBIs in 145 games. Tied for the third spot were Tuckanarra first baseman Lynn Starr and Kenwood shortstop Jeff Lang, who both hit .335 for average. Starr had 27 roundtrippers, 126 RBIs, scored 110 runs and played in 154 games. Lang collected 9 homers and 91 runs batted in, while playing in 145 contests.
