Jim Latimer is a walking ulcer.
And there will only be a one-game playoff if Marsein can knock off Gentry Hills in their final game. Great pitching matchup in that one:
Broderick Earl, the front-runner for Top Pitcher, and
Quentin Stallworth, Marsein's ace. First place vs. last place, but with Earl on the mound, it has to be considered a lot more even than it might otherwise. I'll have a recap of that game tomorrow.

I'm also curious about how well Sebring's season ended. That BB/K ratio for teenager has to have the Spelunkers excited, even if he slumped in August.

I'm planning to do team-by-team rundowns after this season. I can say that Allison's got a reasonably bright future, and not just with Sebring.
Kyle Richardson had a down year, but he's just 25 and one of the most talented pitchers in the Bay League. They've got some other young players that ought to be pretty good.
As far as Sebring, his development took off like a shot this season. He's already fully-developed at age 18. His numbers? He slumped a little more in September, probably getting pretty tired, but I can safely end the suspense and tell you he was Top Rookie with a .298 average and an OBP in the high-.300s... .389 sticks in my mind. I don't have the league file here at home to check for sure. He won't hit for the same kind of average that
Ace Gervin does, but he should hover around .300 with great HR power and discipline for many years to come, barring injury.
