Hopes are high for the Dustland Sharks to continue their division title winning ways even if they have technically downgraded a little. The best years are still ahead of season's MVP (and 24 year old) Kian Lehn will be hoping to put up another big season. Sid van Kranenburg is another, at 24, with his best years still ahead of him. A legit 5-tool player, van Kranenburg's improved performance towards the end of the season was one of the reasons that the side made a late surge into first place in the West. OSA just named him the best Center Fielder in the game so it's been a rapid rise for the youngster.
Then we move onto the pitching. With Jared Way out of Spice District, the 1-2 punch of Jaxon Darnall and Wesley Stebbins is now the best top two of any starting rotation in baseball.
It's a good time to be a Sharks fan.
