2305 Season Preview: NWL Features Most Talent Ever
It's not often that a top player in the prime of his career is going to play in the NWL. Should he remain all season before a CBO team offers some talent and caps, 1B Chase Doctorman of the Cherry Ghoulrillas may shatter the record books.
With the help of the Railroad's PAM assaultron, the BNN has made some predictions, including for Doctorman and the Ghoulrillas to run away with the Nuka Crown in 2305. PAM predicts Doctorman to hit .428 with 38 home runs and 107 RBI in 90 games. While only the homers number would be an NWL record, Doctorman would dominate in a league that has evened out between the offense and pitching.
At 59-31, Cherry would also dominate the South Bradberton Division, winning it by 13 games over Orange, which is predicted to finish second. In the North Bradberton Division, the Quantum Nukalurks are expected to eke out a tight division race with Victory expected to finish a game back. The Cave Crickets were the 2304 NWL champions.
Victory's SP Jesse Emacipated is expected to win the pitching award, predicted to finish 11-6 with a 3.40 ERA. Sooner Coen of Orange is expected to be the ERA champion, while SP Mike Coombaya of Cherry is expected to win the most games (14).
Below are PAM's predictions and the NWL's top players.

Vim! League's Visionary Verdict for the 2305 Voyage
Venerable viewers of the Vim! League, vigilant Vikki Vail here with the very latest on the valorous victories and vexing variables predicted for the vibrant 2305 season, via PAM's venerated prediction model!
Veering into the Fog Division, the vivacious Dalton Farm Fog Crawlers are envisioned to vindicate their voracious appetite for victories, with PAM valiantly verifying their position at the very peak. With a .633 winning percentage, they vanquish doubts and vow to be the vigorous vanguard yet again. Expect the dexterous defense and versatile offense to be their vital virtues, as runs against them are envisioned to veer downward, validating their vaunted ERA of 4.19.
Vying for valor, Echo Lake Harbormen are visualized as valiant contenders, yet vast gaps in their game may leave them vulnerable. Nonetheless, their .589 PCT is no vague validation of their value. National Park Gulpers and Eden Meadows Anglers, however, may find the upcoming season to be a vortex of vanishing hopes, with their visions of victory veiled by voluminous challenges.
Venturing over to the Harbor Division, the Grand Hotel Atoms are projected to vie vibrantly, with a .544 PCT that's verified by PAM. The Acadia Acadians and Far Harbor Ghoul Whales will be in vehement pursuit, with their standings vivified by a mere three-game breadth. The Cranberry Island Hermit Crabs, however, may need to vastly revamp to avoid the vortex of defeat, as the prediction places them vulnerably at the division's verge.
Turning to the titans of the timber, the top hitters are touted to triumph with thunderous thwacks. Ryan Morris, 3B for Dalton Farm, envisions a volcanic season, verily vying for the title of most valuable with a voracious .403 AVG. RF Alex Hopp of Acadia and C Chris Dominoes of Echo Lake also vie for venerable acclaim, visualized to validate their vices with vibrant vigor at the plate.
Lastly, the visionaries on the mound, the valiant vindicators of the Vim! League's pitching prowess, are viewed with vast enthusiasm. SP Kyle Hooch of Dalton Farm is virtually venerated as a virtuoso, with a 2.93 ERA that's vehemently viewed as vanguard. The Fog Crawlers' SP Phil Cecil also casts a vast shadow, his arm a versatile vortex on the mound.
