2024 Season:

The KANSAS CITY ROYALS won the World Series, defeating the Texas Rangers in 5 games.

The BOWIE BAYSOX finished in last place, dropping down to the Pit of Despair. They finished 51-111, one game behind the Potomac Nationals. They are the second Orioles affiliate to drop into the pit, after the Aberdeen Ironbirds.

183 teams remain in Major League Baseball...

Notes:

Missoula Osprey RF Keenan Bell led the league with 75 home runs and 164 RBI. He was a fascinating story, signing a minor league contract with Missoula in 2022 after being released by the Montgomery Biscuits.

Royals outfielder Jarred Kelenic led the league with a .354 average and 9.9 WAR.

Giants rookie SP Kinmochi Kuwabara, signed out of Japan, went 23-4 with a 2.60 ERA.

Lansing Lugnuts SP Rogelio Zamora struck out 15.1 batters per 9 innings.

Lehigh Valley SP Zach Eflin allowed a record 51 home runs.

Mets closer Greg Griffin ended his saves streak at 99 when he blew a save on May 15th against the Florida Fire Frogs. Griffin came in with a 2-1 lead before allowing a single and a walk off homer to Mykanthony Valdez.

Mets SP Mike Nifong struck out 20 batters and walked none in just 8 innings in a game against Hudson Valley on September 5th. His 0.714 WHIP is the fourth best of all time, behind Clayton Kershaw and two separate Syndergaard seasons.

Joey Votto, Cody Bellinger, Freddie Freeman, and Aaron Judge all hit their 500th home runs.

Led by Keenan Bell, the Osprey had a miraculous turnaround season, winning 93 games and finishing in 35th place. This is the best season by a Rookie-level team, and stands in contrast to their 2018 and 2019 seasons, in which they won 24 and 35 games, finishing in 185th and 187th place respectively.

The Syracuse Chiefs were the best MiLB team, going 97-65.

The Miami Marlins were the worst MLB team, going 93-69.

No players were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Teams eliminated:
2018: Princeton Rays
2019: Bristol Pirates
2020: Aberdeen Ironbirds
2021: Hickory Crawdads
2022: Mobile Bay Bears
2023: Reading Fightin Phils
2024: Bowie Baysox
