Connie Mack Final Stats

Here are some of the overall leaders from the Connie Mack World Series.

Note the Four Corners Thunder finished ninth in batting average and team fielding and sixth in ERA.

The Thunder, realistically, were the eighth-best team, ahead of the Bayamon (Puerto Rico) Giants and the South Troy (N.Y.) Dodgers.

I spoke with MVP Deven Marrero today. Marrero said he wants to win a College World Series with Arizona State and has been wanting to go to college for a long time.

A 17th-round draft pick, Marrero feels his defense is MLB ready. He said he's working on improving his strength and becoming a better hitter.
