2016 Jersey Milestones We Might See

Baseball is about statistics.  There are more statistics in baseball than in any sport combined.  And we here in Jersey are no different, we love tracking our players and their accomplishments.  Here is a list statistics and what we might be in store for the 2016 season.  Some more likely than others.

Let's start on the pitching side of things.  

Pitching:

35 year old Dan Macias has 3 wins in 4 starts.  It's a long shot, but 19 more wins this year (22 wins total) would make him the 3rd ever pitcher to reach 150 wins.  With 2 more wins he passes Ethan Pickup for 5th All-time.

Sticking with Macias, his 19 K's thus far puts him just 105 K's from 1800, which (After Ricky Bolden does it soon) would make him the 5th pitcher to reach this milestone.

Rob Goodship with 1 win this season, needs 12 more this season for 51 career, which would make him the current all time Win leader in D-Bag history.

Jaime Saenz with 2.6 VORP this season needs 17.4 more this season to pass former closer Daniel Morris as the franchise all-time VORP leader.

Hitting:  

Leon Foster, with 17 RBI in 16 games, needs 92 more RBI to join the 800 RBI club which has only been accomplishment thus far by 5 players and 2 soon to be members.  109 RBI might be a stretch for the season though.

Foster also needs to strikeout only 3 more time to join the 1100 club, occupied by 3 players.  With 103 more he would join only John Crowe, and possibly Enrique Jarmillo as the only players on the 1200 list.

Mikey Bryant, 3 HR thus far, needs 5 more to make him the 1st D-Bag ever to hit for 100 career HR.  It would also only make him the 3rd 2B ever to hit 100+ HR behind Luis Pezina and Jeff Cole.

Matt Doyle would need 23 total, already has 5, for the 100 HR plateau as well.  Doyle has average a HR ever 14.23 AB in his career so far.  Career leader John Crowe has a 15.62 average for his career.

There are also a few team records Bryant could set this season.  He needs  to score 111 total runs this season to set the team record in runs, he currently sits 3rd behind Parker Morrow and Mason Bonniface.  He would also need 226 hits (which would break his own team record of 209) to pass Parker Morrow the only man he sits behind at this point.

With the team's last 5-4 win over Austin on 4/22 with 4 total bases, Bryant passed Morrow for 1st on the franchise record for total bases.

With 29 HR this season (which would be a career high) Luis Antonio Duran would become the 8th catcher to hit 100 HR in BSA history. 

With most players being in their mid-20's there isn't a lot for milestones.  But some things to look this season besides the amount of wins the D-Bags rack up!

GO D-BAGS!
