Brett Taranto of the Denver Brewers finished the season with a .353 batting average, easily the best in the MGL with Will Masiello of Portland coming second at .338 and
Taranto's teammate
Antonio Acuna finishing third at .334.
Taranto also led the league in hits (210), OBP (.398), OPS (.911), and triples (11), while also playing fine defense at first base (6.9 ZR) and finished the season with the second best season WAR in his career at 6.3 (he had a 7.2 WAR in his MVP season of 1978.)
It is
Taranto's third batting title in his WPK career.
Over in the SJL, no surprise that Matt Van der Heyden won the batting title, easily. You are bound to see more about Van der Heyden later, including him leading his team in the upcoming post-season, but also when he collects his MVP trophy and all the other hardware surely coming his way in the off-season.
