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 Onanism is provided by Brandon Corbett.
Ratings for rookie talent are always the trickiest, for obvious reasons. New players could fall anywhere along the scale, so when you have a team full of them it's easy to imagine every sort of situation — great, good, iffy, or awful — playing out for their season. All those question marks see the final numbers skew toward the seventies, which is right where we find the offensive and overall ratings for Onanism.
Pitching has the steepest learning curve, so it's no surprise that's where the untested arms give Onanism their lowest rating, 69. Haffey looks to have three chances to find an arm to complete his rotation, with Hool, Brasil, and Jardine each penciled in to take the mound. Haffey himself put up good numbers last year: finishing third in ERA, WHIP, and K/BB. However, only 7 games pitched seems to rub some of the shine off that fact.
Defense is the attribute where pure athleticism can transition unabated into Wiffleball, and these ballplayers earn their highest mark for that, 78, just one shy of the league average. Gun to my head: Onanism have a better shot at being good than awful, but until we see them in action iffy is the only way you can call it. Still, at 73 overall they are rated right with teams expected to be in playoff contention.
