Baseball is both an individual and a team sport. The team consists of individuals, for the team to be successful, they must successfully complete their individual tasks. and precise throw to the first. You have to live and breathe baseball. The team must have a good support system.It is not enough for a team to be dedicated to the game, families, team owners, sponsors, coaches, school and college officials and more must understand the team’s psyche and create a strong and impermeable support system. The best sports teams are made up of players who work together and are willing to make sacrifices. A team of selfless players who support each other will generally do better than a group of people who don’t play as a team.
The 2022 MLB season is finally here. With just days to go until Opening Day, hope is high among all teams that this will be their year to win a World Series or at least have an enjoyable 162-game season. Who do you think will win this year?
Nate’s MLB Power Rankings:
1. Atlanta Braves. They earn this number one spot because they reached the post season and won the whole thing without their best player Ronald Acuna Jr. Him returning hungry wanting to be apart of it is scary. Adding Matt Olson to the line up. With Kenley Jansen. And the strength of the rest of bullpen good luck.
2. Milwaukee Brewers. With an outstanding roster full of great ball players and arms. The Brewers will be returning with fire next season. Adding more talent will only make them more scary.
3. Toronto Blue Jays. I guarantee every team that made the playoffs were thankful the Blue Jays didn’t make the cut. Toronto adding Kevin Gaussian and Yusei Kikuchi makes them dangerous. Offensively and Defensively the AL should be worried about Toronto.
4. Chicago White Sox. The White Sox should no doubt be the favorite to win the division. Having a stacked offense like they do makes them very deadly. The rotation still has some work to be done but the closing side of it should be no biggie. The white sox surely could be lethal watch out.
5. Los Angelos Dodgers. Still have depth and lots of talent to be handled with. Big names like Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, and Clayton Kerahaw sure does sound like ring season to me! The dodgers are a team to be on the look out for this season for sure!
6.New York Yankees. There are questions everywhere, but if they somehow get the good versions of Anthony Rizzo, Aaron Judge, Joey Gallo, Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson and Gleyber Torres, that’s a scary lineup. I have no doubt that the New York Yankees have the talent to make it into the MLB postseason next year, but we didn’t see them in October. It’s not our main problem with the Yankees. All of this combined New York is not ready to break the top rankings of MLB power.
7. Tampa Bay Rays. Them having a ball player who’s in discussion for having a huge year is a step forward for the blue jays. Wander Franco and the rays offense are gonna solidify one of the best line ups in baseball. Their pitching will be a huge plus. Will a World Series for Tampa be in this mix?
Now let’s not forget Opening Day is April 7th!
The 2022 MLB Season is Here!
