The
Jamaica Tallawahs have dazzled over the first half of the season, and their defense has made a series of spectacular plays over their last 10 games to help the squad go
7-3 over that stretch. "Unbelievable," said
Jamaica's Manager Paul Julian, who marveled at his teams start to the season. "We have the best defense in baseball right now. It gives us a lot of confidence."
In terms of the mid-season individual leaders,
Dominic Honeybourne of
Sancti Spiritis is on an absolute tear behind the plate batting
.343 with
20 HR's and
48 RBI's. With a start like that, fans are starting to whisper about the triple crown. From the mound, fireballer
Bailey Harsnett of Cienfuegos is off to an electric start with an ERA of
1.55,
5 wins, and
54 K's. As one of the few bright spots for the
Cuban Elefantes,
Harsnett is a big part of the reason his club is only
5 games off of the pace set by the
Tallawahs.
