Razors slicing through competition

Entering July, the Wilmington Razorbacks are the class of the league, boasting a circuit-leading +183 run differential and a scorching hot .702 winning percentage to match. Third baseman Jose Ramirez is making his case for MVP with a .308/.366/.550 slash line and 19 home runs, pacing the club with 68 runs and 67 RBIs. He's also swiped 30 bags in 36 attempts. The Razorbacks are also getting strong contributions from center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (.293 BA, 20 HR), left fielder Ian Happ (.380 OBP, 15 HR, 58 RBIs), and DH George Springer (22 HR, 55 RBIs).

Righthanders Davis Martin (11-3, 2.76 ERA) and Nate Eovaldi (6-4, 2.79 ERA) are leading the staff, which owns a 3.71 team ERA, good for seventh best in the league. But with the MMDA's top offense, it's been enough to get the job done over the first three months of the season.

And we're off!

Thirty games in and the Yankee Clippers are setting the pace with a 20-10 mark. But the surprise of April has to be the New Orleans Wild Hogs, out of the gates at 19-11 and leading the Doyle Division. Uncharted territory for the Hogs, but with Cal Raleigh and Nick Kurtz pacing the attack they will be a force to be reckoned with this season.

Don't blame Shohei Ohtani for Sudbury's sluggish (11-19) start. The unicorn is leading the league with 16 home runs and 30 runs scored. Shortstop Bo Bichette is off to a flying start as well, with a circuit-pacing 13 doubles and 23 RBIs. Unfortunately, Luis Arraez is doing Luis Arraez things and hasn't knocked in a single run in 47 at-bats, and Addison Barger's batting average (.106) looks more like a high fever temp.

Scrubs ahoy!

They say the Masters is a tradition unlike any other. Well, move over golfers. We have a better tradition. The Scrub Draft is here!

The West Side Bluejays kicked off the festivities with utility infielder Lenyn Sosa. Let's admit it, we were all thinking about taking him in the regular draft. He's probably going to earn some down ballot MVP votes this year. To keep track of who else joins him in scrub history follow along here.

And here is the list of remaining eligible players.

2026 draft list and order posted

With the MMDA World Series all wrapped up, the 2026 draft order is now set. Having won the draft lottery, the New Orleans Wild Hogs will kick things off. For the second year in a row, the Whiskey Jacks own a pair of top 10 picks, slotting in at Nos. 4 and 7. The only other team with two first-rounders is the Spokane Hooded Crows, who pick 10th and 18th.

For a complete listing, see the draft order.

And here is the list of eligible players.

Scorpions capture first franchise flag

The Little Rock Scorpions overcame the dangerous 8th-seeded Cape Cod Breakers to capture their first MMDA Championship. Mike Renick, who had to settle for second best in 2024, rode a lights-out bullpen to the title. The Scorps pen pitched 15 innings, allowing three hits, and only one--unearned--run, while issuing just three walks and striking out 15.

Facing a tough Breakers staff led by ace Paul Skenes, Little Rock managed just four homers and 14 runs in five games. But with the stingy Scorps allowing just two long balls and nine runs, there was no need for offensive fireworks. Congrats to Mike on an incredible run through October.

Gators slugging their way to the top

Through the first four blocks of the season, Aaron Judge has a whopping 39 home runs and 94 RBIs for the Gators. And he ranks a distant second on the squad in both categories. DH Brent Rooker--the 77th pick in the 2024 draft, after being out of the league for two years because he sucked too much to be rostered--has blasted 52 homers and driven in 125 runs through 108 games. That's a dinger every 8.02 at-bats.

In all, the Goldenrod lineup boasts eight players in double figures in home runs, including 1B Matt Olson (28) and OF Joc Pederson (26), and has left the yard 240 times. That is some serious pop. While a friendly home park helps lift those numbers, the Gators have clubbed 110 homers on the road, so their muscle travels well.

At 78-30 (.722), the Gators are sitting on a comfy 16-game lead heading into August, and could clinch the division well before Labor Day. A year ago at this juncture, Goldenrod was 76-32, two games back of its 2025 pace. Following a second-round playoff exit, manager John Lamanna will certainly not be satisfied with a dominant regular season.
