NWL Greats
Last month we featured some of the speed demons of the NWL. With a bit less talent than what the CBO produces, small ball players are gems in the NWL. Now let's look at the overall best hitters, especially those powerful guys who tend to win MVPs.
1. Ah Oona, Grape, 2306-2315 - Oona joined the NWL after starting in the CBO as the 3rd-overall pick of Roxbury in the 2300 Rookie Draft. After playing just 29 games with the Rad Sox in 2305, his debut season, the Sox sent Oona to the Painted Ghouls. From there, Oona has become the NWL's all-time leader in HR (228). Oona is also the all-time leader in RBI (669) and WAR (29.93).
2. Daniel Rousseaux, Quartz, 2303-2315 - Rousseaux's longevity has been to the Star Force's benefit as one of the all-time great hitters with a lot of longevity. Rousseaux's longevity has also led him to be atop the leaderboard in career hits (1355), singles (918), and doubles (297).
3. Bumper Robinson, Grape (2302-2311), Orange (2311-2315) - Robinson is another player who has carved out a long career in the NWL. He has never been great enough to earn an MVP, but what he has done has been consistent in his 14 years. Robinson is the all-time leader in games played (1150), at-bats (4158), runs (775), total bases (2068), and walks (564).
