Congratulations to Michael Orobona, champion of the 2015 MLB Predictions Pool! Michael is our eleventh new winner in eleven years, and was part of our inaugural pool in 2005. The HBP tiebreaker column was required to declare a winner for the third time in the last four years.
This year’s contest was certainly one of the closest in pool history. At least six entrants were in contention heading into our final week, and no entrant led more than two consecutive weekly updates. Our top three finishers were separated by a single HBP… This marks the second time Jud Ehrbar missed the title by one tiebreaker point (2007 to Joe Maissel).
Here are the season category leaders, with bold indicating players we actually chose:
AL BA: Miguel Cabrera (4)
AL HR: Chris Davis (1)
AL RBI: Josh Donaldson
AL R: Josh Donaldson
AL SB: José Altuve (16)
NL BA: Dee Gordon
NL HR: Nolan Arenado, Bryce Harper
NL RBI: Nolan Arenado
NL R: Bryce Harper
NL SB: Dee Gordon (9)
AL IP: Dallas Keuchel
AL W: Dallas Keuchel
AL ERA: David Price
AL SO: Chris Sale (3)
AL S: Brad Boxberger
NL IP: Clayton Kershaw (7)
NL W: Jake Arrieta
NL ERA: Zack Greinke
NL SO: Clayton Kershaw (8)
NL S: Mark Melancon (1)
AL HBP: Brandon Guyer
NL HBP: Anthony Rizzo
AL HBP: Nick Martinez, Chris Sale (1)
NL HBP: Chris Heston, Jimmy Nelson
Thanks to everyone for playing and paying on time! Big thanks to our own Brian Wells for launching and supporting our daily updates on the pool site and Twitter. Great job by Michael, and enjoy the postseason…
