Getting ready for the post season run..

And I thought I'd catch you up on some records, single season records that were broken in 2015.

On the offensive side of the ball:

Jesus Andrales (LV) did not in fact break the single season record for batting average! Andrales went 0-4 on the seasons final day to finish at .3680, good enough to win the Coastal League title, but not good enough to pass Edmonton's Greg McCain who hit .3687 last season.

His 237 hits did break Rich Stone's (FRE) record of 228 in 2012, as did Gerald Wright (EP) who had 229 this year.

Andrales also broke the singles mark of 166 set by Kevin Moore (NH) in 2012 and tied last season by Moore as well.

Gerald Wright and Bill Alexander broke Cy May's (HOU) RBI mark of 157 in 2012, Wright ending with a record 176 RBI's and Alexander with 167.

Andrales did set the mark for Stolen Bases, with 55, breaking his own 2014 mark of 52 (which tied Kevin Moore's record set in 2013. Felix Torres (LA) also had 52 this season.

Kevin Moore set a new record for caught stealing, with 26, breaking Luis Rubio's (DAY) record of 23 set in 2013.

Ron Stokes (SAN) almost became the second IBL hitter to K 200+ times, settling for 199, 5 short of Manny Garcia's (EDM) 2012 mark of 204.

On the mound there were several record seasons with Vince Bray (PIT) showing up a few times.

His 24 wins were 2 better than the mark set by Ernie Kelly (DAY) and Raul Gonzalez (HOU) in 2013.

His 24-4 record set a new record for win % with an .857 mark, bettering teammate Ramon Roa and his own 2014 mark of .833. Roa tied the .833 mark at 20-4 this year.

Brady Smith (WMI) set a new record for appearances with 95, breaking teammate Bobby Whitten's 2014 mark of 93.

Ruben Cruz (LA) topped 4 others for the single season mark with 12 complete games, besting Ernie Kelly (DAY) Matthieu Cafasso (ALK) Marcos Diaz (COL) and his own 2014 mark of 11.

Jose Lopes (DAY) set a new mark in futility, yielding 49 HR's, breaking Chris O'Slattery's mark of 47 set in 2012. Marcos Diaz (COL) and Rafael Rosales (MICH) also topped that mark, giving up 48 this year.

El Paso's Corey Elkins won the FL Strikeout title, unseating 3 time winner Walt Thompson (BRO), but in doing so set a new IBL record for walks with 133, breaking J.R. Robinson (BUF) and Jeff Ray's (EP) 2014 mark of 130.

Vince Bray set a new VORP record with a 91.27, breaking Ernie Kelly's 2012 record of 88.95.

Bray fell just short in WAR, at 9.43, to Kelly's 2012 mark of 9.83
