Haters can’t deny Ohtani arm, Machado MVP again |
| |
LES pitcher, Shohei Ohtani, accomplished something that has not been done since Dwight Gooden circled the mound. The two-way star won the pitcher’s Triple Crown. He led the circuit in wins (8), ERA (2.04) and strikeouts (105). No other starter was close. In fact, Ohtani was the only starter to finish in the top 5 of the Gooden voting. Reliever Emmanuel Clase, of New York, finished a distant second.
Despite his dominance on the mound, Ohtani was hated in some corners of Brooklyn. Ohtani haters pointed to his awful hitting and fielding, and blamed him on why LES didn’t win the American Division.
“Had Ohtani hit .200—and not .173, had he committed two fewer errors—and not 9,” explained an owner who used to live in Manhattan, “LES would have avoided the playoff with the (NYC) Scrappers. They would have won the American division, outright.”
Ohtani’s detractors were few but they were loud. There’s no denying his year-long hitting slump. Despite playing in every game, he batted .173 (34 for 196) with 10 homers and 23 RBI. He struck out a league-high 83 times and tied Ty France with most errors committed, 9.
Machado has a pair
When all the hitting numbers were posted, one name was noticed in all the offensive categories: Manny Machado. The Brooklyn 3B finished 5th in average (.296), 2nd in runs scored (40), 3rd in hits (63), 3rd in home runs (15), 3rd in RBI (37), and 1st in slugging average (.673). As a result, Machado became the first BVL player in 27 years to win back-to-back Clementes. Albert Belle, of the “Drive for Five” Joe Foys, won his Clementes for the 1922 and 1923 campaigns.
Kyle Tucker, of New York, finished in 2nd in the Clemente voting, ahead of a pair of Bruisers: Cedric Mullins and Avisail Garcia.
The voters praised Brooklyn’s Lou Merloni’s incredible season with his first Stengel. Merloni made all the right moves for the Go-Go Bruisers, who led the BVL in stolen bases. Don Baylor Jr. finished in 2nd.
Few rookies saw their name in the starting lineup. Only Jonathan India stood out. The Homestead rookie winner, the first for the Greys, hit .305 and clubbed 3 home runs. |
