1950 MLB Playoffs
Another team with their first MLB World Series win - the Orioles are champs for the first time. That leaves only the Dbacks, Reds, A's, Giants, Mariners, Cardinals, and Blue Jays as teams that haven't ended the season on top.

1951 Top 100 Prospects
6 of the top 7 prospects are hitters but the first overall young player is a pitcher - Santiago Mendoza, the Padres pitcher out of Nicaragua. The top hitting prospect is Eddie Miguel, an international discovery from the Dominican Republic. He was originally signed by the Expos but was traded to the Rangers in exchange for Leo Potton, a gold glove catcher. His ratings really rocketed up after the trade. |

1951 MLB Draft
The Brewers had the first overall pick this year and took Paul Vines - a high school LF who has "impressive speed, runs the bases very aggressively, and is able to drop a bunt single on occasion. He is very patient at the plate and should draw plenty of walks. He projects to hit for a .270 average." The first pitcher taken was Jordan Berger, taken out of Ohio State after failing to sign with the Cubs out of High School in 1948. He throws a cutter, splitter, and knuckle curve with ridiculous stuff and average control. Round 1, Pick 1 - Milwaukee Brewers: LF Paul Vines, age 18 Round 1, Pick 2 - Minnesota Twins: SP Jordan Berger, age 21 Round 1, Pick 3 - Philadelphia Phillies: LF Clayton Heise, age 18 Round 1, Pick 4 - Chicago Cubs: RF Donovan Greer, age 21 Round 1, Pick 5 - San Diego Padres: SP Alley Harsh, age 21 Round 1, Pick 6 - New York Yankees: 2B Simon Brice, age 21 Round 1, Pick 7 - Cincinnati Reds: SS Jayden Fraile, age 18 Round 1, Pick 8 - Seattle Mariners: 1B Pablo Ward, age 21 Round 1, Pick 9 - Montreal Expos: LF Adrian Abraham, age 18 Round 1, Pick 10 - Oakland Athletics: RF Colin Kelley, age 21 Round 1, Pick 11 - Los Angeles Angels: SP P.J.

The vaunted Padres win another World Series, their fifth in history which ties the Dodgers for most as a team. However, this is their first win since 1928.

1951 Hall of Fame
Christian Barnett, CF Barnett was quite dominant as a CF for 8 years in his mid 20s to early 30s before retiring at age 37. He was drafted 4th overall by the White Sox in 1933 out of the Texas University Interscholastic League. He was MVP in 1943, won two gold gloves as well as two silver sluggers, went to the all-star game 6 times, was a World Series champ, and twice won a playoff MVP award. Career Stats: 8000 PA, 1916 H, 84 HR, 153 SB, .346 wOBA, 114 wRC+, 89.6 ZR, 51.9 WAR, 46.5 JAWS Eddie Lopp, C Lopp had a very strange career usage pattern for the catcher providing the most value over his career in Major League history: he was a backup most of the time. Yes, that's right - the lone catcher with more career WAR than Morton Zepp averaged 97 games per year over his 18 year career. His best years were by far his age 36 (4.8 WAR), 38 (5.1), and 41 (4.0) seasons. Lopp was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1927 draft out of West Babylon High School and went to 5 all-star games and won three silver sluggers. Career Stats: 7039 PA, 1426 H, 64 HR, .344 wOBA, 110 wRC+, -26.1 ZR, 40.6 WAR, 33.1 JAWS Blake Gribler, LF Gribler's career was split quite evenly between the Rangers and Rays with a year with the Yankees split in between. He was a college draftee from Fordham, selected 8th overall in 1934. He was Rookie of the Year in 1936 and MVP in 1937 and attended four all-star games, won five silver sluggers, and was AL Division Series MVP. Career Stats: 9651 PA, 2612 H, 186 HR, .360 wOBA, 122 wRC+, 16.4 ZR, 50.9 WAR, 40.7 JAWS Jeremy Brook, LHP Brook was a crafty 4-pitch left-handed pitcher with a fastball, cutter, changeup, and forkball who was also drafted out of Fordham. His career was split between the Braves, Pirates, and Athletics where he supplied 9 seasons of 3-6 WAR. He was a two-time all-star. Career Stats: 2350 IP, 789 BB, 792 K, 3.34 FIP, 92 FIP-, 39.8 WAR, 48.4 JAWS Louis Hayes, CF Hayes burst on the scene in 1940 with an 8.0 WAR MVP season at age 24. For the next 5 seasons he accumulated another 23.3 WAR, giving him a career total of 31.3 going into his age 30 season. His career finished after he turned 34 with a total WAR of 39.3. He did run into some injuries - a torn abdominal muscle and a recurring herniated disc that may have contributed to his sharp decline. Career Stats: 5928 PA, 1565 H, 49 HR, 73 SB, .338 wOBA, 113 wRC+, 73.0 ZR, 39.3 WAR, 36.7 JAWS Jeremiah Locust, RF Locust was the 15th overall pick out of South Carolina in 1934 and had a very steady career for the Padres, where he made six all-star games, won two silver sluggers, and was the 1947 AL Division Series MVP. His career spanned much of the time between World Series for the Padres and he retired without a championship ring. Career Stats: 8543 PA, 2155 H, 77 HR, 127 SB, .342 wOBA, 115 wRC+, 61.2 ZR, 40.6 WAR, 35.3 JAWS |

1952 Top 100 Prospects
For the third year in a row, Santiago Mendoza is the top prospect in baseball. He is scheduled to start the year with the big league club and his three pitch mix of a fastball, curve, and splitter will allow him to stay in the rotation. He has a ton of potential with his changeup, but that's not happening. Greer is the second overall prospect and the top hitter - He has plus-plus contact potential, jump-off-the-bat power potential, and natural instincts in right field. |

Lopp is fascinating to me.
I love that his finest seasons were at such advanced ages- especially that age 41 season, for a catcher! Very Carlton Fisk-like. I have to wonder if his somewhat sparing use during his career helped him age so gracefully while playing such a demanding position. |

Agreed, I wondered the same thing - not sure how much OOTP relies on catcher fatigue to increase the aging amount. |
