No complaints about the season the Arroyo Grande Suns (84-70) turned in under new manager Buddy Bechtel, who starred in the outfield for the Suns for 14 years (2013-2026)... Cyclone Cobb retired after a string of bad seasons from 2028 to 2031... the Suns came in last in three of the four seasons... this season improved pitching was the primary difference... the Suns' strong point was the home-run ball... they led the IPA with 186 roundtrippers... Jules Capet (20-12), Royce Coleman (11-4) and 36-year-old rookie Rafael Amarante (17-15) headed up a pretty fair staff, considering Capet Stadium is a hitter's paradise... in the bullpen 38-year-old John Nelson (8-4) saved 22 games... 2B Valerio Cortes led the team with 28 homers, followed by 1B Rusty Vizcarra with 24 and RF Gregorio Oliveira with 21... however none of them hit very well for average... they all were around .235 average-wise... the Suns did well with the gloves with a .974 FA.
