As the inaugural season of Major Sim Baseball barrels into the home stretch, the league’s first-ever pennant races promise to deliver drama worthy of the game. The Seattle Cascades, with their potent mix of power and pitching, have turned the North West Region into their personal stage. Their commanding 85.9% playoff probability has them on the brink of clinching a postseason berth, but as any seasoned fan knows, nothing is guaranteed in the chaos of September baseball.

Over in the Eastern League, the Charlotte Monarchs are holding court, their consistency and resolve keeping them atop the South East Region. With a 54.3% chance to claim the division crown, the Monarchs remain a team to watch, though the competition is anything but forgiving. In the North East, The Indianapolis Racers find themselves locked in a dogfight; their playoff hopes buoyed by flashes of brilliance yet tempered by inconsistency. In the South West, the Los Angeles Stars have emerged as true contenders, showcasing the resilience and talent needed to stay alive in a tightly contested race.

And then there’s the Baltimore Admirals, the scrappy underdogs of the South East Region. With just a 42.5% chance to make the postseason, they are the epitome of grit and determination. Baltimore's resilience has carried them through rough waters before, and their fans believe this team can rise to the occasion once more.

Across the league, the tension is palpable. Each pitch feels heavier, each swing more consequential, and every game more pivotal. The Cascades, Monarchs, Racers, and Stars may be leading the headlines now, but in baseball, destiny has a way of turning on a single play. This is the drama of Major Sim Baseball: a season-long journey now boiling down to a handful of games that will determine who will make history and who will be left wondering what might have been.

Eastern League
Batter of the Month | Pitcher of the Month
Rookie of the Month

On the heels of a very productive August, Willie McCovey received Eastern League Batter of the Month recognition today.

The battle-tested first baseman hit .261 for the Philadelphia Freedom and racked up 10 home runs, 22 RBIs and 19 runs scored.

This season, McCovey is hitting .213 with 88 hits, 28 home runs, 74 RBIs, scored 61 runs and played in 125 games.

⚾

When Steve Carlton takes the hill, there's a good chance for a Baltimore victory. At least that's the way it was in August.

He excelled with a 5-0 mark and a 1.75 ERA in 6 starts, tossed 51.1 innings, fanned 43, and held enemy hitters to a .171 average.

That's why the Admirals star was honored today as the Pitcher of the Month by the Eastern League.

This year, Carlton has a 18-4 record with a 1.55 ERA in 27 starts.

⚾

Youngster Johnny Grubb emerged as the latest Eastern League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Chicago deserved the honor, batting .345 with 3 home runs and 15 RBI. Is the month of August a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Grubb enjoy the limelight.

So far this season, Grubb is hitting .290 with 12 home runs, 64 RBIs and 65 runs scored. He has 137 hits in 472 at-bats and a .347 OBP.

Western League
Batter of the Month | Pitcher of the Month
Rookie of the Month

Denver Gold fans believe they've got a talented young star in Cesar Cedeno.

He did nothing to dissuade that notion in August, as he hit .375 with 6 home runs, 24 RBIs and 18 runs scored.

The end result was the center fielder being named the Western League Batter of the Month.

So far this season, Cedeno has 20 home runs and a .313 batting average.

⚾

When Tom Bradley takes the hill, he's a good bet to nail down the victory for the Los Angeles Stars. At least that's the way it was in August.

He excelled with a 4-1 mark and 1.13 ERA in 6 starts. In 47.2 innings, he fanned 28 and walked 11.
That's why he was honored today as the Pitcher of the Month by the Western League.

So far this season, Bradley has a 11-7 record with a 2.00 ERA.

⚾

The #1 rookie has been named for August -- and the winner is Elias Sosa.
The Western League presented the trophy to him today in a press conference.
It was his standout 2-0 record that brought the Salt Lake City starter the Rookie of the Month award.

Sosa excelled last month with a 0.00 ERA in 0 starts, tossed 17 innings, fanned 10 and held hitters who faced him to a .222 average.

This season, Elias Sosa has made 50 relief appearances, saving 6. His record is 5-3 with 60 strikeouts in 72.1 innings and a 1.24 ERA.
