| The league's leading scorer missed the playoffs, because LOL Nats. |
FINISH: 7th
REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 10-8
PLAYOFFS: First round: lost to BodySuit Man 305-285.
MVP: Javier Baez (471.5 points). The free-swingingest free-swinger there is did it all this year, smacking 34 homers, 40 doubles, 111 RBIs and scoring 101 runs while walking just 29 times.
CY YOUNG: Not a tough call here, with the league's leading scorer (by a significant margin) being Max Scherzer (527.7). Mad Max went 18-7 with exactly 300 strikeouts in 220.2 innings.
PLEASANT SURPRISE: Apparently Scooter Gennett is a superstar now? Dude had 125 singles, 30 doubles, 23 homers, 92 RBIs and 86 runs for a mostly potent Reds offense.
GREAT DRAFT PICKS: Baez (7th round), Gennett (9th), Patrick Corbin (10th).
LESS GREAT DRAFT PICKS: Yu Darvish (2nd) made 8 mostly bad starts before getting hurt and missing the season.
OVERALL: Rick's squad got out of the gate fast behind twin aces Max Scherzer and Patrick Corbin and a potent offense. But injuries and lack of depth caught up in the second half of the season, and ownership's new job and relocation didn't help. He'll look to get back at it in 2019, when he'll pick 4th in the FBLG Draft.
