Mike Yastrzemski wasn’t there. Nor Chris Shaw. Zach Green was gone. As was Mike Gerber, Austin Slater, Joey Rickard, Jaylin Davis, Mauricio Dubon, Mac Williamson, and Henry Ramos. In fact, of the top ten players who led the RiverCats in PA this season, only the Abiatal Avelino and Levi Michael remained. And of the top twenty innings pitched leaders, just Steven Okert and Pat Venditte were on the field in Memphis last night.
But all of those players were part of something special this year.
