Saint Johns Water Wolves 2062 Season Summary
The Saint Johns Water Wolves delivered a fantastic 2062 season, finishing with a 50-26 record and claiming the Little Islands Division title. This marks the team's 10th playoff appearance in the past 14 seasons, further solidifying their reputation as one of the league's most consistent and successful franchises. While their playoff run was cut short in the semifinals against Coxen Hole, the Water Wolves showcased an impressive balance of offensive firepower and dominant pitching throughout the season.
Dominant Regular Season Performance
The Water Wolves established themselves as the team to beat in the division, finishing 13 games ahead of the second-place All Saints Blue Claws. Their well-rounded roster allowed them to outmatch opponents in multiple ways, boasting one of the league’s best team batting averages while maintaining a stellar pitching staff. With contributions across the lineup, Saint Johns proved they could win in a variety of ways, from offensive outbursts to tightly contested pitching duels.
Offensive Standouts
The heart of the lineup was led by Larry Neighbors, who posted a league-best .373 batting average, along with Jeffrey Loring (.342 AVG, 5 HR, 41 RBI), whose power and consistency made him a key run producer. Norman Hughes (.312 AVG, 6 HR, 42 RBI) led the team in home runs, showing his ability to come through in big moments. Shane Lewis (.310 AVG, .389 OBP) and Miguel Hernandez (.303 AVG, .387 OBP) also provided steady offensive production, getting on base and setting the stage for run-scoring opportunities.
Pitching Excellence
The Water Wolves’ pitching staff was another major reason for their success. Closer Javier Soto put together an outstanding season, leading the team in wins with 10 while posting a 1.82 ERA and 67 strikeouts. Gene Cousineau (8-5, 3.27 ERA, 88 K) was the team’s workhorse, leading the staff in strikeouts and keeping opposing lineups in check. Francis Paget (5-3, 3.15 ERA) and Raul Hernandez (3.20 ERA) provided much-needed depth in the rotation and bullpen, helping to keep the team in games throughout the season.
Playoff Performance & Looking Ahead
Saint Johns entered the playoffs with high hopes but fell in a tough 2-1 series loss to Coxen Hole in the semifinals. Despite the disappointment, the Water Wolves have built a foundation for continued success. With a strong core of hitters and a reliable pitching staff, Saint Johns will be aiming for another division title and a deeper playoff run in 2063.
Fans can expect another exciting season as the Water Wolves continue their pursuit of championship glory!
