The Hitters

He ran into some tough competition in Round 5 and is looking to lock in a position in Round 7. He will have to contend with Hall-of-Fame competition from Ernie Lombardi and Derek Jeter as well as Ken Griffey Sr, Pat Duncan, Joe Kuhel, Sam Wise, and Chone Figgins. Everyone is looking for a .500 record in order to move on.

The Results
Ernie Lombardi started strong and then pushed through the final week of the season to snag the first place flag from the surging Jake Beckly. Chone Figgins had a terrific April and then coasted through the rest of the schedule to take third and the final Round 7 slot. Derek Jeter had a chance but lost on the last day of the season and Ken Griffey Sr., despite leading all teams in batting average and having a positive run differential, fell short of a .500 record. We’ll see how his boy does in Season 12. Kuhel, Duncan, and Wise are also finished in the tournament.
