Individual
single-season records in the HMWL are hard to come by as of late.
The 2002 season, which boasts the highest number of regular season
games, is the year in which most records are held.
There
are a number of statistics from that fated season that will never
be touched. Justin Hastings’s record of 20 homers in the 2002
campaign will never be touched. However, some one may challenge
it. The 2004 season featured the lowest total of at bats per home
run in league history (one homer for every 15.4 at bats). If a significant
number of games are played this season, you may see HMWL.net with
its own home run tracker.
Furthermore,
Rich McMackin’s 2002 records of a 1.20 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP
are records that are far from attainable. With the shift to new
wiffleballs, the game has become more offensive than in past years.
In fact, the league ERA in 2004 was a whole run higher than in 2003
(3.83 vs. 2.88). The days of dominant pitching are most likely behind
us.
