CYL Preview
The Commonwealth Youth League with 64 teams has begun its 2309 season. However, we have yet to take a look at what to expect coming into the season for future stars of the CBO.
Season Outlook
PAM has spoken, and the Beantown Sprouts of the Sunshine Tidings area appear to be the strongest team coming into the 2309 season. PAM predicts that they will finish 53-23, the only team in the CYL predicted to win 50+ games in the 76-game schedule.
Part of the power of the Sprouts is that the scouts see seven players as being 1st-round grades in potential. SP Alex Language (So) returns after an 11-4, 3.47 freshman season on the mound. Other top players include LF Gremlin T. Squearfish and 3B Allee Bobbuh, two seniors expected to lead the team offensively.
In the South Region, the Spectacle Island Specters are expected to have the best record of 48-28 in what is expected to be a tight race both in their Louisa May Alcott Division and all of the South Region.
Top players in 2309 are expected to be on offense:
NR - RF Naga Arakaki, Jr, Concord; 1B I.C. Reader, Fr, Marblehead; 1B Bipp Islander, Sr, Hester
