Holy Balls Attribute Ratings

Championships - silver star: tournament champion, gold star: WSEM champion, gold triangle: division pennant
League averages - CON: 77, PWR: 77, PIT: 75, DEF: 79, OVR: 77 Team attribute ratings were determined by averaging the individual ratings of the four members of the WSEM Front Office's Tactical Media Wing. Contact (CON), power (PWR), pitching (PIT), and defense (DEF) were studied to determine overall (OVR) team rating. The thin bars included are the league average for each attribute. This writeup for the Holy Balls is provided by Evan Bischoff.

The Holy Balls season ended last year by being shut out in the first round by El Diablos. The 2014 squad is much improved and should be looking for a much deeper run.

The big offseason pickup by the Holy Balls was indisputably five-star Dennis Pearson. His impact is obvious with the Holy Balls having the league’s highest power rating of 92. Dylan Braden has also proven himself as a power hitter. However, their contact rating of 83 is pretty low, at least when in comparison to their power rating. Pitching for the Holy Balls is not a huge concern and is rated fourth-best in the league at 80. The combo of Pearson and Paquin will likely carry most of the pitching load. All-Star Chris Paquin has proven himself as a consistent contact pitcher, and Dennis Pearson is less consistent but still occasionally shows flashes of why he won a Clown Shu two years ago. Chris Lewis, Brandon Corbett, and Dylan Braden may get some innings as well. Fielding is still a big question mark for the Balls. They have no great fielders and it is easily their lowest rating at 75.

Overall, the Holy Balls will almost certainly make it to at least the wild card, with hopes of a twenty win season and a deep playoff run.
