The Wheelhouse is a joint production of the World Baseball Alliance and media outlets around the world. It is published every other Friday during the regular season.

Nakano Leading Paladins' Charge

The second-best record in the WBA belongs to the Perth Paladins and star centerfielder Matsuo Nakano is the main reason why. The Japanese superstar has nearly as many home runs (15) as strikeouts (16) while maintaining a .365/.406/.685 batting line. He's one of the best bat-to-ball hitters in the world and though he's not particularly choosy he can barrel a ball anywhere near the plate. He was quietly excellent last season (6.2 WAR) but has erupted this year, already nearing his home run mark with 15 (he had 19 a season ago). On the mound the Paladins have relied on youngster Jayashree Gabeja who is 10-1 with a 1.76 ERA in his second season.

Aztecs Winners of Ten Straight

The hottest team in baseball? That would be the Mexico City Aztecs who carry a 10-game winning streak into a series with the Havana Lightning. The recent surge has carried them into first place in the Caribbean League North though two teams are just a game back.
