Westish's middling season continues, as the club is now 40-41 midway through the year, 6.5 games back from the division.
One issue the team has (which was, sadly, overlooked by management previously) is that every batter except 1 (backup 1B Cecil Cooper) is right-handed. The team has a losing record vs. right-handed pitchers, but is 16-9 vs. lefties. This is an issue that will be addressed moving forward, however it could take a while.
Westish is led in batting average by Al Kaline (.321), Sixto Lezcano (.311) and Carl Furillo (.282), and home runs by Lezcano (13), Manny Machado (13) and Pete Alonso (11).
Harvey Haddix leads in ERA (3.55), wins (8) and strikeouts (110), while Jose Alvarado out of the 'pen has 17 saves and a 2.00 ERA.
