News & Notes

You can’t get off to a much better start than Dennis Lock of the Guatemala City Quakes. In 4 starts, the all-time strikeout leader has pitched 27 1/3 innings without allowing a single run. He given up 13 hits and 7 walks for a 0.73 WHIP and struck out an astounding 42 batters, 13.8 per 9 innings. You could say he is the early favorite for the Nolan Ryan Award.

There is a race to see who will be the first player in league history to reach 200 homers. Before the season Galen Dorey and Richard Mason had 181 and 180 respectively. Dorey has only hit 4 this season so far to Mason’s 7, leaving Mason 13 away from the mark. They will probably both eventually be looking up to William Correa who is 3rd at 180 but is only a few days away from turning 25.

So far the feel good story has been the Guadalajara Fightin’ Monks who finished 54-108 last season but have started this year 10-4. It’s doubtful they can keep the pace up considering the relative strength of San Antonio and Austin within the division but it’s possible they could finish 3rd ahead of Mexico City with New Orleans all but certain to bring up the rear. If they can continue to win the close games (5-0 in 1-run games so far) they could cause some problems down the line.

On the injury front, Rio de Janeiro lost their 2nd strting pitcher in as many weeks as their top starter Chris Claussen tore a tricep and will miss 5-6 weeks. Already in last place, their season is all but done.
