The Wheelhouse is a joint production of the World Baseball Alliance and media outlets around the world. It is published every other Friday during the regular season.

Paris and Willemstad Remain Unbeaten

Each team has played six games but only two teams are yet to record a blemish in the loss column. The Paris Pride swept away Copenhagen and Berlin in their first two series, not just winning games but demolishing their opponents. They sport a +37 run differential, meaning they've won their games by an average of 6.2 runs! They've been led on offense by Kai Krenn, who leads the entire Alliance in batting average. He's been equaled on the mound by ace Lenny Sloan, who has tossed 16 innings and allowed just a single earned run in two starts.

In the Caribbean League, the Willemstad Wings have also produced a 6-0 record, but they haven't been quite the behemoth that Paris is. The Wings have already won three games by a single run, and another by two runs. Gene Viveros, who started the decisive game of the World Baseball Championship for the Dominican Republic, has pitched brilliantly so far with just one run allowed in 17 innings. Willemstad had been projected to finish with a losing record, but the team's confidence is high after the hot start.

Astor Alexander Causing Trouble?

The Wheelhouse generally focuses on the A-level league, but there's been a serious development in the Caribbean Silver League already. Star pitcher Astor Alexander already seems to be alienating teammates. One anonymouse source was quoted in a local paper, and we've since heard from another.

"He doesn't want to be here [in the Silver League]," our source said. "He shows up when he wants, leaves when he wants, and does his own thing when he wants. We asked one guy who played with him last season if he's always like this, and he just smiled and nodded like he knows it's gonna get worse."

Alexander hasn't let the kerfuffle distract from his pitching, throwing complete game shutouts in each of his two starts. One member of the Nassau ownership group has publicly backed him. "Astor is a valued part of our team. The fans love him and we love having him. We expect him to be an anchor of our team for years to come." Alexander is under contract through 1965.
