2298 Week 3 - The Week in Review

Analysis

We are now 15 games into the 2298 season, and Oberland continues to dominate the CBO. In their first league matchup with preseason wild card favorite Diamond City, the T-51s cruised to an easy sweep, moving their league lead from three games to six games. This already puts the rest of the league at a huge disadvantage; that was a series Diamond City had to win early in the season. Now it looks like the rest of the Railroad League is scrambling for which team will be #2.

Looking at other leagues, the Brotherhood League is the only one with a first-place tie at this point in the season. Nordhagen Beach and Easy Town are both at 10-5, while the favorite, The Slog, sits just a game back. At this point, that league looks to be a three-team race for the two slots, but do not count out Finch Farm and Salem. County Crossing, well, we will need to see about them.

Fort Hagen is the #2 team in the Power Rankings and hold the second-best record in the CBO behind the T-51s. Though they do not score at the same rate of the South Charles Association top teams, the Silver Shroud are the #1 offensive team in the North Charles Association (96 runs scored), topping six offensive categories. The only other team currently challenging the Shroud is the Abernathy Adamantium. While not setting the league on fire, SS Austin Engill and RF Donny Kowalski are helping the team win games, and ace Brad Westing (4-0, 3.13 ERA) is enjoying his greatest success since being traded from the Roxbury Knuckle Punchers this offseason.

In the Minutemen League, the 2297 league race looks to have returned with Goodneighbor, University Point, Warwick, and Quincy occupying first through fourth place in the standings. Atom and Jamaica Plain are not terrible, but both teams appear to be a notch below the others. The Hancocks have been the best so far, but any run could make this league the most topsy-turvy of them all.

Looking at some individual statistics, here are a few players standing out:

Batting average: RF Sam Noob, Fort Hagen, .476/.507/.778
Home Runs: SS Lernz Tentsleep, The Slog, 8 HR
Batter WAR: LF Michael Fogcrawler, Nordhagen Beach, 1.3 WAR, .413/7 HR/ 30 RBI (1st in CBO)
ERA: SP Manny McDuff, Quincy, 3-1, 1.39 ERA, 1.1 WAR (t-1st)
Pitcher WAR: SP Tyler Powers, Diamond City, 1.1 WAR (t-1st), 3-1, 2.51 ERA
