Las Vegas - The Las Vegas Fremonts celebrated their first division championship tonight after finishing the final series of the 2019 season. While no major individual 'Mont records were broken, the 2019 edition set team records for wins (47), runs (483), home runs (127), walks (326).
Update: Fremont SS Marcus Semien was named the 2019 Friendship League MVP. Semien finished the season with 13 HRs 51 RBI, .284/.380/.491. He accepted the award saying, "Congratulations to Francisco Lindor on a great season and and probably the closest rate for this reward -- good luck in the National League next season. I share this award with my teammates and the city of Las Vegas." Fremont Director of Analytics Russel Johnson said, "While Marcus' counting stats were not league leading, he earned a 3.8 WAR, good for fourth best in the league and best among players on playoff teams." Semien famously came to the Fremonts via a mid-season trade with Kansas City that was completed on a cocktail napkin.
U gotta be kidding me on the MVP voting. Cruz led in total average, second in AVE, HR, RBI. He was not even on the list. Talk about a fixed election, this one for sure was. LOL
