Home runs, batter:
As already noted, Devin Schwisow of the Phoenix Speed Devils hit his 50th home run of 1977 (against our Brewers) to tie the single season WPK record. He has been slumping though and is still struggling to get his record setting 51st. (Oh, and he is a first baseman who has committed 20 errors on the season. So it's not all good stuff for Schwisow.)

Doubles, batter:
New record set- Pittsburgh's Bill Winchester is having what might prove to be an MVP season (he will have some strong competition from Bud Lindsay, Lazaro Lowndes, and probably Xiao-mei Mah as well) and he has set a new WPK record with 55 doubles, eclipsing the mark of 54 set last year by Seattle's Fred Reinhardt.

Runs batted in, batter:
Veteran slugger Nate Bennett of L.A. has been red-hot down the stretch and is well on pace to set a new RBI mark for the WPK. The current mark is 152, set by Jesus Casiano in his MVP season of 1970. Bennett has driven in 145 this year and is on pace for 161.

Runs scored, batter:
Speaking of Nate Bennett, he is only on pace to break the runs scored mark of 138 set by Josh Jenkins in 1970. Bennett has scored 127 runs this year and is on pace for 141.

Hits, batter:
Houston's Lazaro Lowndes is also hot heading down the stretch and is on pace to collect 245 hits, which would best Travis Johnson's previous WPK single season high mark by 7 hits.

Home runs allowed, pitcher:
New record set- Also as earlier reported, Phoenix starting pitcher Marty O'Brien has earned the unwanted distinction of having allowed the most home runs in a single season as he has given up 46 (the previous high was 40) and is on pace to allow 51.

Strikeouts, pitcher:
Brooklyn's Joel Travino, like his team, is limping to the finish line but is still on pace to best the single season K mark, which is 261 set by Jaime Schardein in 1968. Travino has recorded 254 K's and is on pace to finish with 280.

Walks, pitcher:
Portland's Brad Evans is a fan favorite and you won't find many more durable starting pitchers, but boy does he struggle with control. Evans is on pace to break the record of walks in the WPK for a single season, which is 154. But he is only barely on pace to break it as he projects to walk 156. He could still avoid this fate with a few good games, or, well, by just not pitching much the rest of the season.

And that is pretty much it. While there are a few other records that could still be in danger, these are the most likely to fall, if they haven't already.
