Cal's take on an All-Star team based on week 9 performances.
C - Cam Gallagher, VA - 6-15, 1 HR, 2 2B, 5 RBI, 5 R, 2-2 X-Ch, 148 ODA+
Gallagher outperformed his season wOBA by almost 150 points this week and stood head and shoulders above the league's catchers.
1B - Dominic Smith, LMM - 7-12, 4 2B, 2 RBI, 4 R, 139 ODA+
It was a short week for Smith, but in three games he led first basemen in hits and doubles for week nine.
2B - Brandon Lowe, QC - 4-14, 2 HR, 1 3B, 1 2B, 7 RBI, 3 R, 9-10 X-Ch, 185 ODA+
Second base was hotly contested this week with McNeil and Fletcher chomping at Lowe's heels. He only had four hits, but he made them count - all going for extra bases along with seven RBIs.
3B - Miguel Rojas, YKN - 10-19, 1 HR, 1 3B, 3 2B, 5 RBI, 5 R, 4-4 X-Ch, 223 ODA+
Rojas slugged a cool .947 against West Virginia this week and was perfect at the hot corner to boot.
SS - Tim Anderson, JJG - 8-18, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 5 R, 6-9 X-Ch, 186 ODA+
TA7 makes his first first weekly team at short by the slimmest of margins. He led Simmons by a single ODA+ point and Story by only 10.
LF - Victor Reyes, YKN - 8-16, 2 2B, 4 RBI, 5 R, 1-2 X-Ch, 176 ODA+
Another Moose leading the charge against the Black Bears: Reyes didn't have the pop that Rojas showed, but collected eight hits and produced nine runs.
CF - Harrison Bader, LMM - 8-18, 2 HR, 1 3B, 2 2B, 8 RBI, 5 R, 2-2 X-Ch, 185 ODA+
It was a slow week defensively for Bader - only collecting two checks - but he smacked five extra base hits and produced eleven runs for Los Muertos
RF - Bryce Harper, PBW - 7-15, 4 HR, 2 2B, 14 RBI, 4 R, 2-2 X-Ch, 229 ODA+
Bruce brought the pain against the WonderWolves knocking in fourteen runs with four dingers and two doubles.
*DH - Nelson Cruz, JJG - 12-18, 4 HR, 1 2B, 14 RBI, 5 R, 254 ODA+
Despite his club losing three of four, Cruz was crushing baseballs all week. He knocked in fourteen runs and led the league with a 254 ODA+.
P #1 - Zach Davies, SBB - 7.1 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 12 SO, 306 DOM+
With the highest recorded single-week dominance score, Zach Davies handily takes the top spot with a steller 2-hit performance.
P #2 - Kenta Maeda, BSG - 8.0 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 10 SO, 240 DOM+
He's had an up and down season so far, but Maeda put up a dominant eight-inning start this week for his second win.
P #3 - Kyle Zimmer, SBB - 4.2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 6 SO, 213 DOM+
Zimmer appeared in three games against the Bovines and earned himself two holds and a win in relief.
P #4 - Victor Gonzalez, YKN - 4.1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 7 SO, 192 DOM+
Gonzalez tossed over four innings of shutout baseball in relief this week for the Moose. Had he earned any decisions, he likely would have finished one spot higher.
P #5 - Lucas Sims, SBB - 4.0 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 9 SO, 183 DOM+
Sims gave up a solo shot this week, but through four innings that was the only damage that Milwaukee could muster against him.
