MrMopar's 3rd Annual Baseball's Back Contest

[mrmopar]

I am a little late and didn't need to be timely after all, but locking the contest to new entries after the first pitch of the first game of the season, just to be official. Baseball season has started! Good luck to all! I'll check in periodically throughout the season to see where everyone stands.

First check in on the contest. The MLB leaders in your 6 statistical categories are, as of today:

H - Bo Bichette
HR - Pete Alonso
RBI - Adolis Garcia

W - Joe Ryan/Shane McClanahan
K - Spencer Strider
ERA - Sonny Gray

@Dazed and @banjar are on the right track at this time, but don't count out @joey12508 with the Freeman H pick or @dano7 with the Judge HR pick either. Heck, there is still a lot of season to go. Good Luck!

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update!

Agreed! Thanks

I usually did an ASG update in the past, but forgot. The season is heading into the final stretch. Here is how it looks now

The MLB leaders in your 6 statistical categories are, as of today:

H - Ronald Acuna Jr (181)
HR - Shohei Ohtani (44)
RBI - Matt Olson (112) - Monster Year!

W - Spencer Strider (16)
K - Spencer Strider (245)
ERA - Blake Snell (2.60) - Where has this guy been hiding since his CY in 2018?

Nobody is on the leaderboard currently, but I think 3 of you realistically still have a shot, including @thelesquad @Dazed and @joey12508 . Freeman is having a career season, so that is where my money would be if I were betting.

Well, it looks like nobody picked a stat leader this year. it was close, but here are the final Major League leaders:

Hits - Ronald Acuna Jr (217)
HR - Matt Olson (54)
RBI - Matt Olson (139)

W - Spencer Strider (20)
K - Spencer Strider (281)
ERA - Blake Snell (2.25)

I think I will go ahead and award a random consolation prize winner though. It sucks to have a year long contast with no winner! I'll do a random drawing with the participants and announce the winner shortly. I then need to get off my butt and gather up some stuff to mail out to the 2023 winner, as well as the 2022 winners, whom I still own (big sorry about that)!

It was fun! Thank you.

This morning, I listed all contestants by number, in order of how they appear on post #2 (I think that was the order you entered the contest). I then randomized that list, so it was mixed up. Finally, I decided spot 5 would be the drawing winner, so I randomized the list for a final time to see who landed on spot 5.

The drawing winner for 2023 is @CardBoredom

Please PM me your mailing address and a list of sports, teams and finally players that you like. No guarantee that I'll be able to hit specifics, but will do my best to try.

I'll be assembling the prize package for you and the 2 2022 winners @dano7 & @WizardofOz1982 in the next couple of weeks and will let you know when they are ready to ship. If your mailing addresses have happened to change since you gave them to me last year, please update.
