Weekly Recap April 13th - April 20th

Australian Baseball League

Sunshine Coast signs former Bite closer Josh Pierce, Pierce should look to step in to a setup role for the Falcons.

Geelong trades 1B Robert Lungren (.267, 55H, 1HR, 11RBI in 2029) for Adelaide 27 year old SP Dave Cherry. Cherry has a career 2.65 era in his three years in the ABL.

Geelong also signs closer Austin Franklin. Franklin had 8 saves last year with Sunshine Coast

Analysis
Geelong clearly is attempting to strike back into contention as they make moves to bolster their pitching staff. Sunshine Coast continues to attempt to reach their first Claxton Shield as they continue to spend money (that they may not even have).

Just a reminder - OOC:Interactive
The commissioner will begin to meet with current teams about future expansion, schedule lengths. Official bids for the next cycle of expansion, predicted to be 2032 or 2034, can be submitted at any time.

Australian Amateur Baseball League

Second weekend of the AABL went as follows:

MLB New Zealand drops all three games to New South Wales.
Baseball Queensland beats Baseball Tasmania two games to one.
MLB Australia beats Baseball Western Australia in 2 of 3 games.
Baseball South Australia rebounds after a rough last week winning all three against Baseball Auckland.
Baseball Victoria defeats Baseball Northern Territory in 2 out of 3.

Standings

Baseball New South Wales 6-0
Baseball Queensland 5-1
Baseball South Australia 4-2
Baseball Victoria 4-2
Baseball Western Australia 3-3
MLB Australia 3-3
Baseball Tasmania 2-4
MLB New Zealand 2-4
Baseball Northern Territory 1-5
Baseball Auckland 0-6

Player Spot Light

Joe Brodbeck, the C for Western Australia, is hitting .364 with 2 HR, with a 2HR game this week against MLB Australia Joe cemented himself as one of the best catchers in the league.

Also shout out to Tyler Naylor for New South Wales. Naylor dominated MLB New Zealand going a CGSO with 11K and 1H. Naylor at 16 is considered a fringe prospect for the ABL. If his dominance continues he could rise up the draft board rankings for his class.
