Wolfpack 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 Wolfpack is provided by David Castle.

The Wolfpack come into the 2014 season as a brand new team, filled with talent from top to bottom. However, that talent is too inconsistent for anyone to call them great, which is why they come in 5th in the overall ratings with an 80.

The Wolfpack have a respectable 83 Contact and 85 Power rating, which is no surprise because both Brannans can hit. Plus, the addition of Nicco Lollio puts the cherry on top. But, it all comes down to if Nicco shows up to games against formidable opponents, unlike last year. If he doesn’t, this line up takes a hit.

As for pitching, their rating is a staggering 71. It’s hard to rate them any higher with Mark Brannan being their only good source of pitching, and he can be shaky at times. They have no number two. Maybe Nicco can get that knuckleball to be more consistent, but that’s a long shot, and the thought of Andrew Piasecki pitching is amusing. Their defense is an 83, not bad, I wouldn’t mind having Greg Brannan behind me fielding anything that’s put in play. Look for this team to fight for a wildcard spot.
