It was a season to remember for the Coca Cola Kids as they dominated the first half of the season. Players that contributed to the historic first half are Cal Raleigh, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Josh Naylor, Katel Marte, Elly de la Cruz, Julio Rodriguez, Matthew Boyd, Jason Adams, Freddie Peralta and Shota Imanaga. The Kids blew out teams week after week mid-July.
July and August was a different story for the Kids. As players like Pete Crow-Armstrong, Elly de la Cruz, and the starting pitching went cold and players like Spencer Torkelson, and Bryson Stott cooled off the Kids' dominance ended. They lost the last six weeks of the regular season, and their first place in the league.
Some roster changes heading into the playoffs include bringing in Blaze Alexander 3B (Arizona), Mike Yastrzemski OF (Kansas City), Zach Gelof 2B (Las Vegas), Will Vest RP (Detroit) to help fill or back up some spots that have shown weakness in the last several weeks.
The Kids did manage to hold onto, by a thread, the second spot in the playoffs, earning a first week bye. This post will update the results of the playoffs for the Kids, so stay tuned.
Until then, here are the regular season leaders for the Coca Cola Kids "A Team" Baseball Club:
