Activity Level: Low
Park Factor: Neutral (High HR, low 1B and 2B)
Even with 7 batters selected in the first 10 Rounds of the draft, Planet 10 was a pitching focused team. Their #1 pick Larry Walker faltered a bit, garnering just a .754 OPS. With Ex defense this is acceptable for a Round 2 or 3 selection, but can’t be justified in Rd 1 in a corner outfielder. Planet was in a tough position with the last pick of the draft, but I think Stan Musial, John McGraw, King Kelly, or even Dan Brouthers may have served this specific team a bit better.
Aside from George Brett in Rd 2, the rest of the lineup was shaky too. With a team OBP of just .320, 2nd worst in the league, their runs scored was near the bottom the league leaders.
Still, thanks to above average pitching, Planet made the playoffs seven times, reach 90 wins, and had a max win potential of 94. Cannonball Titcomb, with another great season, has proven himself an ace lelvel starter. This has to be a point of particular pride for Ivar, as he personally found Cannonball a year ago. Behind the team ace, Kevin Brown and the bullpen had great resims and led the team to the second best strikeout rate in the game.
