October 1, 2029: Final Regular Season Standings and Rays Stats



The final team stats:



It's a typical breakdown, first in most categories, mediocre to bad in defensive numbers. This was probably our best baserunning team, both in steals and baserunning overall.

The final batting stats:



Nothing big to complain about here. Connor Kirkley was a little disappointing, as was Carlos Perez in the backup role considering he's likely the full-time C next season. Dayle Jenkins' numbers were quite impressive in his limited number of at-bats.

The final pitching stats:



What a season from Jack Leiter, who turned out to be our best pitcher despite starting the year in long relief. And how about 3.5 WAR from Christian Little in only 88 innings? At the bottom of the list, you can see what a bad second half JDLC had, ending the year with slight negative value. He's still the closer as we go to the postseason but his leash will be short.

Also this. WTF?



Burkes was probably the front-runner to share the catching spot with Carlos Perez next year, as you can see he hit very well at Durham and was a 70 at catcher too. Also a 1st round pick at defensive end at 6'0", 200? That's small for a DE in the 1960s. Well it's time to use some of this surplus talent to go get a catcher.
