Interlude: What became of the Dudley Twins?

When they joined the league in 2029, the Bahaman Dudley twins were expected to take the league by storm. Breanna was a hard-hitting shortstop and Olivia was a hard-throwing reliever. The two had lead Ohio State to a national championship. But ten seasons on, what became of them?

Breanna

Breanna, having spent ten seasons with the Beaver Lionesses, is now making herself at home in a small apartment in downtown Anchorage. After the 2038 season, she signed a 5 year, $385 million deal with the Seals.

“Slaughter”, as she has been nicknamed, enjoyed a fairly productive decade in Oklahoma. After winning 2029 Rookie of the Year, she made five All Star teams (2029-33) and has won 6 Cherry Zeck Awards at shortstop (2029-31, 2034-36). She has played 1138 WBLA games, averaging .332 and having hit 262 home runs. She gets injured just like any other play but the only major setback she has experienced was in 2033. She missed three and a half months of the season with a torn quad before returning for three games only to fracture her foot. Currently she sits at a career WAR of 67.2. She has become of the faces of the league and is a league ambassador for encouraging girls to pursue sports.

Olivia

Olivia is also finding herself in a new home. After not playing in the 2038, she signed a one-year contract with the Odessa Panthers. She began with the Roanoke Ramblers and played in Virginia until 2035. She signed with Salisbury and earned the one thing her sister doesn’t have- a championship ring, which she won in 2037.

However, she has had much less storied career than her sister. She missed almost two years in 2032/33 due to a torn flexor tendon and a relapse of that injury. She suffered the same injury in 2036, missing another 13 months. She has earned two All Star appearances in her first decade but she has little recognition outside her team fandom (and often within it).

Despite this, her numbers are decent. She has a career ERA of 2.80 and 77 saves. Her fastball is excellent but she has issues with were control and has walked 102 batters, which is good but not great for a late-innings pitcher.

The twins may never be part of the league’s ‘elite’ but they are well-loved and popular players with strong numbers to their name.
