It was a rough year for the SeaWolves as they finished near the bottom of the Eastern League East division.  There were a few stand outs at the plate though.  Let’s take a look…

Justin Henry – The outfielder looks like a solid table setter although there’s not much power there.  In 376 at bats, he didn’t hit a single home run but he lead the regulars with an .814 OPS.  He has a really nice 52/62 strikeout to walk ratio and that equated to a .410 OBP.  He’s past prospectdom (he’ll be 27 in April) but he ‘s having a solid season down in the Venzuelan Winter League so it’ll be interesting where Henry fits in.

Jamie Johnson – Johnson led the team in runs (93) and doubles (33) but like Henry, there’s not a ton of power and Johnson’s OBP was almost as high as his slugging.  He’s a little younger but he’s still going to be 25 in April.  Time is running short for him so hopefully he can step things up and maybe get a look if he plays well at Toledo next year.

Rawley Bishop – The first baseman led the team in home runs with 10 and RBIs with 67.  To call him a masher is a stretch because he had a slugging of just .396 but that was amongst the team’s best.  He also led the team in strikeouts in 106.
