Individual Season Records Watch

As we all observe Steve Randolph & Christopher Ramirez possibly have the two greatest seasons in world history, let's take a look at what single season records are within reach to be broken this season.

Sorry there are no links in this post, I'm short on time.

Batting Records

Julio Melendez of New Orleans is on pace for 710 At Bats, which would put him 13 short of Emil Ibarra's season two record.

Steve Randolph of St. Louis is on pace for a .380 batting average, which would put him .013 percentage points short of Roger Mottola's season five record.

Paul Reese of Hartford is on pace for 61 doubles, which puts him on pace to break Bret Kubenka's record of 57, which he set last season.

Woody Key of Scranton is on pace for 244 hits this season, and Darrin Kingland of Fargo is on pace for 240. Nicholas Bryant set the record in season 4 with 240 hits.

Darrin Kingland is on pace to hit 75 home runs, which would beat Troy Harper's season 1 record by 2.

Steve Randolph is on pace to have a .479 on base percentage, which is .002 points higher than Ramon Jang's season 3 record.

Steve Randolph is on pace to have a 1.249 on base + slugging percentage, which would fall 0.013 points short of Troy Harper's season 1 record.

Steve Randolph is set to finish the season with a 16.10 Runs Created per 27 At Bats mark, which would obliterate Ramon Jang's season 3 record of 14.06.

Nicholas Bryant is on pace for 190 Stolen Bases, which would beat the 168 he stole last season.

Nicholas Bryant is on pace for 139 walks, after he was walked a record 142 times last season.

Pitching Records

Chris Ramirez of Pawtucket is on pace for a .193 batting average against mark, which would beat teammate Henry Mackowiaks season 5 mark of .197.

Chris Ramirez is on pace for 20 complete games, which would beat Ricardo Velasquez's season one record of 16.

William Hobbes is on pace for a 1.75 ERA, which would beat Henry Mackowiak's season 4 mark of 1.96. Hobbes is on pace for 164 IP this season, which just barely would top the 162.2 required to qualify for the ERA Title.

Chris Ramirez is on pace for 314 Innings Pitched, and Dennys Shin is on pace for 302 Innings Pitched, both of which would top Shin's season 4 record of 295 IP.

Chris Ramirez is on pace for 32 Quality Starts, and Willie Tapies of Iowa is on pace for 30 Quality Starts, both of which would top the 28 QS record shared by Christopher Ramirez, Dennys Shin, and Erick Appier.

Chris Ramirez is on pace for 6 shutouts, which would break his record of 5, set last season.

William Hobbes is on pace for a .241 slugging percentage against, and Chris Ramirez is on pace for a .271, both of which would break Henry Mackowiak's .278 record. Again, Hobbes would fail to set the record if he didn't hit the minimum pitch requirement.

Chris Ramirez is on pace for 301 K's, which would break his own record of 277 set last season, and make him the first member of the 300 K Club.

Chris Ramirez is on pace for a 0.96 WHIP, which would fall 0.07 points short of Mackowiak's season 4 record.

Chris Ramirez is on pace for 27 victories, which would tie Orlando Javier's season two record.

Team Records

The Pawtucket Polythene are on pace for a 3.26 team ERA, which would break their season 4 mark of 3.27.



And yes, I realize this looks like a post full of bragging rights. But I actually started off doing this because of Randolph & Ramirez both, who deserve the leagues full attention on their incredible seasons. I just didn't realize Ramirez was on pace to break basically every pitching record ever.
