Forgot to post these:
(1) HRs seem a tad bit low. Three players hit 40+ HRs (highest was 44) across both leagues. This could account for the scoring issues. Markus must have programmed a post-steriod era modifier.
(2) Highest averge was .319 across both leagues. The league hitting averages also seem a bit low, with the number nine average across both leagues at .309.
(3) Pitching is officially unbalanced. The league leading ERA was 1.16, and the number nine SP on the combined list came in at 2.11. Everything else seemed ok as far as strikeouts, etc. goes. Pitching is overpowering hitting in the IOSBL.
Does this mean that Columbus actually has a good pitching staff? 😉
The Kudzu finished over .500 in 2017. Had a team ERA of 3.36.
Interesting. The over .500 part may be OK, but the ERA is far too low.
