A bit of a change here. Rather than screenshot the leaders from the in-game stats tab, which can be hard to read, I'm going to borrow this idea from one of my other saves and just give you the Top 10 by WAR for both hitters and pitchers across the league with the divisions combined. Leaders in bold.

[luckymann]

All four divisions still fairly evenly-poised thru end May. The defending champion Beacons have surprised with their poor title defence so far, but still plenty of time for them to improve upon that.

Really pleased with what I am seeing here. Kind of expected some flattening out of stats due to the overall quality of players, but instead we are seeing some excellent offensive production without it nerfing the pitching. Some of the players seem set to post fantastic numbers this year if they can keep things going at their current pace.

League slash is 253 / 312 / 380 and 3.70 ERA, which is actually slightly skewed toward the pitching compared with last season.

[luckymann]

So, while it has been nice seeing things unfold day-by-day, the purpose of this exercise is more of an overall one. So I will finish this 1962 season on a daily basis but then pull back to a monthly report for the next 5 to speed things up a bit.

After season 7, IE 1967, there will be the first of two planned realignments. I'll revert to a daily report for the first season of the new structure to familiarise everyone with it, then go back to monthly again for 5 or maybe even 6.

The second realignment occurs in 1975 and will see us through until the planned finish of the league after 21 seasons in 1981. By this time we should be getting into the really meaty part of things so I think I'll go back to daily reports to see it unfold at close quarters. Loads of milestones and contests for all-time leadership across the stat categories should make this really interesting.

At the end I will be doing a deep dive into the results to see what can be gleaned.

This league seems to have quite a following, so if there's anything any of you along for the ride would like to see, don't hesitate to post about it.
