The Importance of Depth in a 46 Game Season

The Amsterdam Mohawks have been at the top of the PGCBL East Division for almost two months and, at one point, won 19 straight games. It looked like Amsterdam could cruise to a ninth PGCBL championship but with the team roster changing, depth is becoming a concern.

The Mohawks lost two of their middle infielders over the weekend, Brandon McCraine and Tyler Correa. McCraine had a slow start to the season but found his rhythm in early July. The shortstop finished the season with a .343 average and 8 RBIs. McCraine arrived at Amsterdam on June 23rd and returned to Auburn this past week.
