The Trenton Thunder were crowned MLB Draft League champions last week after edging the West Virginia Black Bears down the stretch in both Points (98) and Points Percentage (.583) to finish with a 30-18-8 record. On top of that, more than 80 Draft League players, including 40-plus undrafted free agents, have now signed signed a professional contract.
But with the Draft League season now in the rearview mirror, it’s time to recap the statistical and analytical standouts from the Draft League’s inaugural season.
