I’m a preds fan and seeing them so bad in the beginning I lost all hope but Ryan kracht looks like prime Kyle Schultz so I think we got a shot at the title
He also can’t hit for shit… he literally had ZERO hits last year and only 2 this year. He is legit the WORST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE… Gus would be better in the lineup and that’s No CAP
I’ve been keeping a (mostly stats-based) MLW Overall Player Rating for the Past 3 Seasons, and now that the regular season is over, here army top ten players of the season. Jordan Robles 97 Ryan Kracht 96 Jimmy Knorp 92 Dallas Allen 91 Grant Miller 90 Brendan Jorgensen 88 Jaxen Pearson 87 Kyle Schultz 87 Trevor Bonham 86 RJ Walgate 86 Looking forward to the playoffs! Robles for MVP, Kracht for Cy Young and Grant Miller for ROTY and Silver Slugger.
Kracht was the best pitcher by era and had the 2nd best average and 4th best ops while Robles was the 7th best pitcher and had the 4th best avg and 2nd best ops kracht seems better
Good list. I am taking Kracht over Robles, also Jorgensen and Miller are both too low. Miller is BY FAR the best hitter in MLW, I'd have him around a 95, and Jorgy has quietly put up a 1.205 OPS and 3.51 ERA, he's had the best season of his career since 2020. Also I really don't think Kyle is better than Walgate
Drew's swing has become so reactionary. Looks like he's protecting the zone more than attacking. Probably my favorite player in the league, definitely want to see him return to form. If he can get back to that 'swing hard and run like a bat outta hell' approach he'll be an MVP again. When Drew & Sean are barreling balls they're arguably the best 1-2 punch in the league. Haven't finished the vid yet but go cobras
im ngl i love drew but this season might've nail in the coffin'ed his MLW career. Dont get me wrong the effort is still there but the swing just isn't anymore, plus the pitching of the league is only gonna get better. I hope this next draft class is really good cause #2 overall pick better get us a game changer at the minimum.
Loving to see warda come back and start hitting bombs again, same with russle. Kratch looks like he's within the best 3 players in the legue. This is a complete different animal then what we saw in the 1st half of the season. If I was the magic I would be getting nervous. Ps. Ryan's pitching is another level.
Preds playing the best ball of their life in the most important series of the year. They’re going to be a real force in the playoffs especially with how hot Ryan has been
McGlade wasn’t too good, but the Cobras kept chasing. Good for the Preds; Ryan can pitch every inning in the playoffs if he wants to… they don’t need the depth
It probably adds to the costs… but adding an additional series to the regular season would be interesting. I think 15 games is 1 series too short. 18 feels like the right amount. 3 before the break and 3 after. Play each team in conference twice (or everyone once but 1 interleague team once).
I had been looking forward to this series all week. It turned out to be an amazing series for the Predators, and an amazing second half to their season. Kracht has been amazing on the mound, and has become a legitimate candidate for the Cy Young Award (with Walgate and Robles). Meanwhile, the entire team is now hitting well, which wasn't the case in the first half of the season. I'm not sure how well their overall talent stacks up against some of the other teams in the playoffs, but as hot as they are right now, I expect them to make a run.
Love watching you guys! Drew is a bit of a spaz and also makes silly throws to first when clearly they were gonna be safe. The Preds look insane right now! Kracht just may be the best player in this league. Insane pitching and brings the power bat. Preds are getting hot at the right time. Watch out league!
SPOILERS: Ryan Kracht for MVP! A series shutout for the Preds who are red hot. Kracht will probably win back to back and the Preds are rolling. For the Cobs, definitely a disappointing season after a world series appearance, but a solid roster moving forward with a high draft pick as well. That Gus double play was hilarious 😂. And not just that, but the fact that the next inning he was batting and Warda did the same thing! Another great series as a Preds fan. Definitely feels nice to get back at the Cobs after they embarrassed us last year. Another appreciation comment to Kyle and all the guys for doing such a great job with these!
@@BirdGang6 if you say so. However id say that even when the Preds struggled, Kracht was still great. Stats wise he was the best pitcher and a top hitter. Let's agree to disagree.
@@BirdGang6did you look at the stats or nah? Ryan leads the league in innings pitched, ERA, and 2nd in WHIP (.02 behind Walgate). Third highest batting average (behind Yurgaites and Miller), the most hits in the league (6 more hits in 6 less plate appearances than Robles), one less HR than Robles (anecdotally he did have one robbed today also). So yeah his case is a lot better than you might think.
At the beginning of the season, I would’ve never guessed that Baranoski would end up with 0 wins on the mound 🤦♂️ tough season for the Cobs but they’ll be back 🤞
Worked out for the Preds but Warda should have put Kracht in there after getting 2 runs early in game 2. Kracht is invincible right now and Mcglade gives up 4-5 run innings all the time.
Cobes fan here. This team lacked the feel good energy and hype from last year. Lots of Ks, few bombs and mid pitching. Time to let go of Gus and whatever sentimental value is there. We need a player who can light a spark for this team. Hope this was an off year and y’all will be back to last years energy next year hopefully with a new addition. Rough year let’s build off it.
Kracht is dialed right now and THE BEST time to be so. I honestly think we're looking at Preds/Magic for the ALCS if Warda and Russel can keep the bats going. Cobs need to draft a slugger or something cause right now they are all pitchers and no hitters. Two instances of bases loaded and they can't get a single run across? Come on. Against the Preds second pitcher no less!
Nope, he’s not the MVP this year, Jordan Robles was, he was top 5 in every hitting category in the league (had better stats than Kratch in all of those categories too) and was a top 10 pitcher in every stat category in the league including leading the league in wins and complete games. He also led his team to 10 wins and a division title. Ryan played out of his mind for half a season but his team barely made the playoffs. You don’t get to be MVP because you were good for 3 series. You give it to the most consistent player on the best team and that was Jordan all year.
The Cobras man… tough scene. Heading into next year I think they need 3 things and they’ll be fine: 1. Baranofski to get his head right on the mound. Because he was really bad this year. 2. Put more focus on Sawyer Behan. He should be starting more games pitching and there is zero excuse for him batting 4th. Move him up. 3. Draft a slugger to replace Baranofski in the lineup. His ABs are just brutal to watch. Let him focus on pitching because he ain’t a hitter.
I’d do anything to party with Rudy 😂 lmao but anyways so happy the Preds won the series. They deserve a playoff run! And man Drew needs to get his eyes checked. His tomahawk swings recently is very questionable lol
Don't like the not wearing hats look from the Preds ( besides Ramirez.) I realize it's not that big of a deal, but they're not playing in the front yard with t-shirts on anymore. Just saying....
The Gators and Cobras were so humbled this year. That’s why when you have a chance at a title don’t think next year because sometimes next year never comes as a Viking’s fan after 77’ we thought no biggie we’ll get back there and 46 years later nada no return. Kyle Schultz has to come out of that hitting slump of his or they get beat by the Preds more than likely. Kyle’s defense has been stellar but I think it’s asking a lot out of their pitching staff to throw three shutouts. Kyle fails to hit The Wildcats go home to contemplate what went wrong.
SPOILERS: Said it last season and I'll double down, Preds vs Dbacks in the WS. Without inning limits I don't see any team being able to consistently hit on Kracht the way he's pitching and we all know how good postseason Knorp is. This series was a blast as a Preds fan, this is what this team should be. Nice to see them getting hot at the right time.
I’m coming to York from Maryland witch is a one hour drive with my two other friends and my other friend is going into a different car can’t wait to see you guys there
"Walgate this, Walgate that" Ryan Kracht is still the greatest pitcher this league has. I have never been more scared of a pitcher than I was of Kracht in that final game. Dude looked so loose and comfortable on the mound and was throwing absolute dimes into the zone. 1 Walk in that final game where he was throwing JUNK. Kracht is the GOAT. And I'm hoping for a World Series run with the Preds on his shoulders.
It's games like this that make me glad Drew is part of the Jomboy events cause it gives him a place to decompress from the MLW season and let loose a bit.
Can’t believe the regular season is already over!! Also… big World Series announcement dropping on Monday.. GET READY. 👀
👀🔥
I’m a preds fan and seeing them so bad in the beginning I lost all hope but Ryan kracht looks like prime Kyle Schultz so I think we got a shot at the title
Night night cobras. Here we go!
@MLWWiffleBall The Cardinals and Seahawks should be teams again
Based on previous history with the Wildcats & Preds, you can sense the anxiousness in Kyle’s voice. He knows what’s coming 😂😅
Especially since the Wildcats have been struggling recently
I can not wait
Crazy how drew can't throw a strike while Ryan is up there doing 360 no scopes
This needs to win @pipeitup comment of the week
Drrw is 3.14159/10. Scrub
Watching Red Baron go from CY Young winner to genuinely one of the worst pitchers in the league has been really tough to watch
It's those PEDs.
0-6 this year, just brutal. It was so fun to watch him last year, second half Kracht is giving me those same vibes.
He also can’t hit for shit… he literally had ZERO hits last year and only 2 this year. He is legit the WORST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE… Gus would be better in the lineup and that’s No CAP
Tough to call a 1-0 loss poor pitching
@@Dr.Acula76 he’s 0-6 this year buddy 🤦🏻♂️.. also only got 2 hits
I’ve been keeping a (mostly stats-based) MLW Overall Player Rating for the Past 3 Seasons, and now that the regular season is over, here army top ten players of the season.

Watching this reminds me of growing up and playing baseball all day with friends. Genuinely brings me joy to see what y'all have built

Biggest "I'm him" moment of MLW 2023 has to be Kracht casually throwing 2 shutouts pitching out of like 10 different windups, that's my GOAT
I didn’t know Kracht was on the Savanah Bananas!!!
I do t remember the last MLW double play so two in the same inning was crazy
Shoutout Kyle he's always using new subtle editing techniques that make the videos so good
Ryan Kracht with the best pitching performance of the season
Give Rudy a mic every game
Baron winless on the season is tragic! From Cy Young caliber to an winless season. That’s tough to watch. Kracht for back to back MVP!! Let’s go!!!
Ryan Kracht woke up that morning and chose violence
That final pitch in game 3 was just disrespectful
Ryan Kracht showing no mercy 💀
I’ve never seen a team swing at more high pitches than the Cobras
Behen swings at more of them than anyone. He's done that all season long.
Drew with his signature “robbed homer” in game 2 was a top 10 of the year.
He didn’t need to jump it was right at him
CANT WAIT FOR THE PLAYOFFS
SAME
Rudy with an all time mic’d up
All I can say for Ryan Kratch’s pitching:
Exit stage left!
Let’s go PREDS!
It probably adds to the costs… but adding an additional series to the regular season would be interesting. I think 15 games is 1 series too short. 18 feels like the right amount. 3 before the break and 3 after. Play each team in conference twice (or everyone once but 1 interleague team once).

nahhhhhh that smirk on Rudy's face when he said that Pearson was cute was crazy
That Gus play was the best thing I've seen all day and it's not even close
Love watching you guys! Drew is a bit of a spaz and also makes silly throws to first when clearly they were gonna be safe. The Preds look insane right now! Kracht just may be the best player in this league. Insane pitching and brings the power bat. Preds are getting hot at the right time. Watch out league!

No Kratch is not the MVP, it’s a full season award and Jordan has been the best player all season. You don’t get to suck for half a season and win MVP

So yeah his case is a lot better than you might think.
Almost forgot, leads the league in strikeouts also. 17 more than 2nd (who is Robles)
Holy cow that Warda Biceps at 13:45 is absolutely insane. 😂
Ramirez stands straight up and that’s why he’s late on every pitch. He needs to get lower in his stance in legs. So he’s on time with the pitch.
The pitching by Kracht was absolutely ridonculous! That was unfairly fun to watch.
Best pitcher to go winless on the mound this season: Baron
The double line out, double up was an absolute one in a million! 🤯
@4:28 Oh jeez no what was that disgusting display?!?😆
Preds vs Wildcats is an awesome start to the playoffs!
Did I just watch Kratch go Super Saiyan?
That mic’ed up session was pretty top-tier lol
RJ Walgate is the Goat of Metro Magic
Kyle is always the WildcatVillain and the brother of Daniel
At the beginning of the season, I would’ve never guessed that Baranoski would end up with 0 wins on the mound 🤦♂️ tough season for the Cobs but they’ll be back 🤞
So great to see the Preds come alive, and what a performance from Kracht 😤 But the real story… what happened with the Red Baran this season??
Let's mic up Rudy in every game. Even the ones he's not playing in.
Kracht has to be pitching better than anyone I've seen in MLW so far. The way he mixes up his delivery is just insane.
Worked out for the Preds but Warda should have put Kracht in there after getting 2 runs early in game 2. Kracht is invincible right now and Mcglade gives up 4-5 run innings all the time.

Gus isn’t the problem 😂
@Kenny012 well he definitely isn’t the solution and we need all the help we can get
@@samdaugherty7585 True that.
Mic Up Rudy every game 😂
Super happy for Warda I knew he had it in him
Did the groundhog see his shadow? Because #PlayoffWarda came a week early this year! 🙂
kratch is really the only elite pitcher from the old days
Drew’s catch shouldn’t be forgotten just because his team lost. That’s an all-time MLW catch.
Oh do I miss my 2020 Gators 😢, still love ya tho 😊
Kracht is dialed right now and THE BEST time to be so. I honestly think we're looking at Preds/Magic for the ALCS if Warda and Russel can keep the bats going.
Cobs need to draft a slugger or something cause right now they are all pitchers and no hitters. Two instances of bases loaded and they can't get a single run across? Come on. Against the Preds second pitcher no less!
ryan looking like michael jackson on the mound
Cobras got blanked, swept and eliminated in ONE VIDEO!!! You LOVE to see it!!!! Couldnt have asked for more.
Rudy’s making the all star game next season book it
Kratch is the best player in the league, hands down.
This Cobras team is missing Durand big time. Offense struggled mightily all season long without him.
Where did Durand go?
Drew has became more of a hitter and fielder than a pitcher 😢
Just a fielder 😂
I love in the third quarter alert talking about fantasy football
It's time!! Best way to start the weekend!!
I need rudy to be mic'd up every game
tough day and tough year for drew davis. he was so dominant the first year i got into this league lol
Win or go home. That makes sense. I thought he said winner go home LOL
Kracht just playing around on the mound is insane to see
Keep up the good work guys!
Ryan has been my goat, ryan is my goat, and ryan will be my goat. What an absolute class act guy. B2B MVP for sure
Nope, he’s not the MVP this year, Jordan Robles was, he was top 5 in every hitting category in the league (had better stats than Kratch in all of those categories too) and was a top 10 pitcher in every stat category in the league including leading the league in wins and complete games.

Baron went 0-6, Sawyer bat less than .190, this Cobras team was a massive disappointment
Damn for real?
Big ups to McGlade though. Clutch.
Kratch looks ridiculous omg 😱. Let’s go Preds!
Rudy is hilarious lol
Looks like Szerlag is about 50mg over the limit
Do we have the "need two pitchers in the playoffs rule" in place?
One day Rudy, one day...
As a Preds fan this was a wildly entertaining series to watch
Baron started 7-0 last year and has went 2-10 since (including playoffs). What a flip.
I’d do anything to party with Rudy 😂 lmao but anyways so happy the Preds won the series. They deserve a playoff run! And man Drew needs to get his eyes checked. His tomahawk swings recently is very questionable lol
Don't like the not wearing hats look from the Preds ( besides Ramirez.) I realize it's not that big of a deal, but they're not playing in the front yard with t-shirts on anymore. Just saying....

Preds jerseys are 🔥🔥🔥
Fax I honestly might get one even tho I’m a gators fan
“Ohhh, in your mouth!”😭😭😭
McGlade's tights might be too tight... cant find the strikezone without circulation
The cobras are such choke artists, drew aint that guy anymore, team needs a big shakeup
Warda multiple jacks on the day? Must be getting close to the playoffs. Too bad the hr derby isn't at the end of the season 😂
It's games like this that make me glad Drew is part of the Jomboy events cause it gives him a place to decompress from the MLW season and let loose a bit.
I want the nothing but Kracht pitch tutorial
How many feet is a homerun?
Is it TC3 or TOMMY?? Make up your mind!
I have been watching you since 2018 I love watching your videos
Man what will it take for Rudy to get a home run?
Probably a good peggin from Ryan the way he was talking.
Probably a hug from his crush TCIII.
RYAN KRACHT
When Kracht is on I believe he is the best pitcher in MLW.
Really hoping for a Preds v Mallards WC.
🦆🏆
