Postseason Predictions

Opening Week has come to a close and the Austin Armadillos are undefeated. This team full of rookies has really come together and it is evident in their record. In this post I will break down the team into each key component to show why the Austin Armadillos will be the World Champions. 1. Pitching- This team is full of very young pitchers who are out to make a name for themselves. In the first 5 games, the starting pitchers all pitched at least 7 innings. This is was incredible since this was each of their first major league starts. If these young kids can stay healthy, they will definitely be in the race for the Cy Young. The Ace of the Weekend was Adam Roy. He pitched a complete shut out game with 15 Strike Outs. This was one of the best Major Leagues starts for a Rookie in the History of the MLB. 2. Batting- The team had a combined Batting Average of .459 for the first 5 games. In the Opening Series, the team hit 12 home runs. Also, the combined score for the 5 games was 38 runs. They outscored their opponents by at least 5 runs each game. The Golden Bat award for this week goes to Trip Hauf. He went 16-17 in his 5 games he played. This is the best start that Trip has had in his 5 year career in the MLB. Fans have filled the Stadium for each game which has helped the players feel welcomed in their new town. The staff is very excited to see what this season will bring. Who knows, this could be the first team to go 162-0. Best of Luck Austin Armadillos!
