In the triple crown categories, the DVs' Corey Seager won the batting title, Miguel Cabrera of the FFTs led in homers, and the Rhinos' Kris Bryant had the most RBI. Jose Altuve of the Inmates was the only hitter to reach 200 hits. Jonathan Villar of the Tweeners stole 60 bases to lead the league.
Clayton Kershaw of the Fungoes won the league ERA title, and Noah Sydergaard of the Rhinos and Jose Quintana of the Inmates won the most with 19. Kenley Jansen of the DVs and Andrew Miller of the champion Sidewinders led the league in saves with 34. The strikeout king was Max Scherzer of the Skyscrapers, who barely edged out the the dynamic Wahoo duo of Weekend at Bernies and Justin Verlander.The team leaders are also posted. Leading the league in hitting was the Wahoos, while the Buckeyes led in HRs and runs scored. The top ERA went to the Sidewinders, but the Wahoos edged them out for most strikeouts. The FFTs tossed an impressive 19 shutouts.
There were a couple of records set in 2017. The DVs walked only 372 opposing batters to set the NASOMA record. They were led by reliever Kenley Jansen who walked only 1 (with 110 strikeouts) in 71.1 innings.
Although they weren't records, other teams (and 1 player) jumped onto the all time record book. Clayton Kershaw's 1.65 ERA is the second best ever in NASOMA. The Wahoos and Sidewinders both entered the top 5 for strikeouts in a season. The Buckeyes' 66 saves is the third most ever.
There were also three dubious records. The SuperGoofs set records for all time lows in Slugging (.342) and runs scored (533). The Mavs struck out a league record 1,521 times. And the Inmates tied a record by failing to record a single shutout.

That Kershaw must be the Cy Young recipient, right?
hehehe
Was Kershaw's perfecto also a NASOMA first?
Actually, the INMATE Arson Squad did indeed toss seven (7) shutouts, although all were combined (i.e., no single starter was good enough to last an entire game). The entire staff completed only nine games, including four by Pineda and three by Davies (all were completed because they were blow-outs and we wanted to save bullpen innings.....). Indeed, Pineda started three of the staff's SHOs. I'm quite certain none of these would have ended as shutouts had he pitched a CG; check out his incendiary card, and everyone will surely agree with this assessment.
Regarding the vaunted Kershaw - he would have looked like the second coming of Walter Johnson had he never tangled with the Inmates. Musgrove is our choice for Cy Young Award winner. We never could beat the bastage.
I can change your team total to show 7 shutouts. The stats you sent me didn't include the combined number (or maybe it did, and I just didn't see it). Anyway, it's an easy fix.
Thanks to Inmates and Pigman
