RBI"s - Frank Welch (36)
Stolen Bases - Rasty Wright (9) (2019-3rd)

Wins - Frank Gabler (4) (2019-10th), surprise later round steal who tossed a no hitter in his rookie season

Strikeouts - Don Henley (49) (Waived by Des Moines Jaguars) - Yes, the Eagles singer. He was very shaky in his rookie season in San Juan and has bounced around the league, not really a Brooklyn type of guy

Saves - Charlie Kerfeld (9) (2019-6th) - colorful personality, does not seem like a Brooklyn type either
